Another off-spring of CCHS was the Cambridge University Press Element Series on Critical Heritage Studies, which was officially launched. Kristian Kristiansen, Ola Wetterberg and Mike Rowlands are among the editors and the first 6-7 manuscripts were approved of the ca 50 to be produced during the coming five years. Research grants either from the leadership of the CCHS or through collaborators continued to expand, and during 2018 it amounted to more the 20 million SEK, just as Ola Wetterberg was part of a new Marie Curie training network called Heriland that was launched in 2018. In addition, we continued collaboration with Leiden and Amsterdam on a new Marie Curie training network on migration. The publication record of the CCHS also showed good international standard with an increasing number of peer reviewed papers, as well as books to be published with Brill and UCL University Press. Our webpage had as average 600 visitors a month during 2018, our Facebook page have 1714 followers, and our Newsletter reaches nearly 800 primary receivers.1 Members of our leadership groups achieved new academic appointments in 2018: Clare Melhuish became director for the Urban Lab at Bartlett, Henric Benesch became pro-dean at the Faculty of Fine Arts, and Mats Malm became a member of The Swedish Academy. Finally, CCHS produced a midterm report together with the other UGOT centres, for international peer-review. The peer review received in December was positive, even if there are comments that need to be discussed, and a continuation for the final three-year period, which starts 1st April 2019, has been granted. On that occasion Kristian Kristiansen (director) and Ola Wetterberg (vice director) will swap roles, allowing Kristiansen to invest more time in editing the Element series. Organization Partnership model We have created a research partnership between UGOT and UCL around shared research themes/cluster and projects, coordinated by a director in each university. A set of researchers from both universities has been identified and committed on the basis of already existing research collaborations between the two universities. A partnership agreement between our two universities has been agreed upon (Research Partnership Agreement UGOT/UCL). CCHS team The research team at UGOT has done basic research not only in Europe but in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Kristian Kristiansen is Director, assisted by Ola Wetterberg. The research team at UCL has done basic research not only in Europe but in Australia, Africa, China, Latin 1 The newsletter is also sent on several other email lists thus reaching many more than the 800 primary subscibers.
