Abstract

This report is the product of a workshop held in Kolkata, West Bengal, in April 2017, in which academic experts met to discuss the range of issues relating to the promotion and preservation of historical cultural heritage in the cross-border region that is West Bengal and Bangladesh. The objective of the discussions was to provide the evidence-base for future calls under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). The workshop also enabled the strengthening of existing relationships with the University of Glasgow’s partners in India, and the foundation of new relationships with others in West Bengal and Bangladesh, in order to establish a consortium to underpin a larger GCRF project proposal.
