  • co-hosting events with the IGF at London’s South Bank and King’s Place
  • developing an online database of guitar research
  • building an online network of current guitar researchers and research projects
  • increasing the number of affiliated institutions and industry partnerships
  • providing an online peer reviewed publishing platform for guitar research in conjunction with the International Guitar Research Archive in Los Angeles
  • applications for funded research projects
  • applications for funded research degree studentships through the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) block grant scheme or through the Faculty of Arts and Humanities studentship competition
