<p>For too long practice researchers have been struggling with Open Research. </p>
<p>A lack of suitable infrastructure makes it difficult to meaningfully present and preserve contributions to knowledge made through practice.</p>
<p>AHRC is funding two projects to improve access and preservation of the outputs of practice research.</p>
<p>PR voices will create a practice research community of practice, bringing together an intersectional community that spans all stakeholder groups.</p>
<p>SPARKLE (sustaining practice assets for research, knowledge, learning and engagement) is focused on the preservation of practice research assets.</p>
