28th annual New Researchers in Maritime History Conference

The New Researchers in Maritime History conference was jointly organised between Port Towns and Urban Cultures research group (with Cathryn Pearce leading) and the British Commission for Maritime History. The conference is held annually in different locations around the country, co-hosted by various maritime history museums and universities. It supports the Faculty's unit of assessment strategic priorities by collaborating with non-HEI organisations to support PGR and ECR researchers, as well as independent researchers to widen participation and networking opportunities. It also supports Civic University role by attracting researchers to Portsmouth and to Portsmouth's maritime and naval heritage sites, including the Mary Rose Museum, which were offering delegates guided tours.
