This includes academics, research students, independent scholars, practitioners, educationalists, activists, creative artists, local and community partners, and others who have made a sustained contribution to our research areas and projects, and who want an ongoing relationship with the Centre. Associate Members can be based in the UK or internationally.

- Be promoted on our website;
- Connect with the research culture of the CTSG and develop your research networks;
- Work collaboratively with CTSG members e.g. on research outputs, bid/grant proposal development, and co-authorship with CTSG members;

- Enhance your individual research profile and CV, strengthening applications for funding;
- Meet other members from across and outside the University at our regular formal events and informal social events.
Eligibility:
Those applying for Associate Membership should have previously worked or should currently be working with a CTSG member on research activities linked with our three key research areas:
