British Academy - British National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
http://www.britac.ac.uk/

The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences. Their purpose is to inspire, recognise and support excellence in the humanities and social sciences, throughout the UK and internationally, and to champion their role and value. As a Fellowship composed of nearly 900 distinguished scholars, they take a lead in representing the humanities and social sciences, facilitating international collaboration, providing an independent and authoritative source of advice, and contributing to public policy and debate. As a learned society, they seek to foster and promote the full range of work that makes up the humanities and social sciences, including inter- and multi-disciplinary work. As a funding body, in receipt of Government grant-in-aid, they support excellent ideas, individuals and intellectual resources in the humanities and social sciences. They enable UK researchers to work with scholars and resources in other countries, sustain a British research presence in various parts of the world and help to attract overseas scholars to the UK. As a national forum for the humanities and social sciences, they support a range of activities and publications (print and electronic), which aim to stimulate curiosity, to inspire and develop future generations of scholars, and to encourage appreciation of the social, economic and cultural value of these disciplines.
