[ecrea] Drones for heritage communication PhD opportunities at University of Brighton

  Drones for heritage communication and audience development


    Project in brief

This PhD project critically explores how drone technology could inform 
an audience development framework for heritage institutions, especially 
around diversification of audiences and innovative ways of engaging with 
heritage culture. It asks about the potential socio-economic benefits 
for the heritage sector of drawing on commercial and civic models (eg 
drone film festivals, drone races, science/geek family days out) around 
drone technologies. It also considers what mediator role the heritage 
sector could play between the legal context, commercial exploitation and 
end-user engagement around drone technology. The methodology will 
include desk-based research and expert interviews, leading to a 
preliminary model.

The drone technology experimentation and field work phase will test this 
model in partnership with the heritage/industry partners. The 
audience/user perspective will be captured through observations and 
interviews. The analysis will map out opportunities, barriers and 
potential partnership models for innovation and collaboration between 
the drone culture industry and the heritage sector.
