Our PhD student Anna Hildur Hildibrandsdóttir has recently co-written two peer-reviewed articles exploring the role of cultural and creative actors in supporting place-based and regenerative development in non-urban areas. The articles are based on her research conducted within the IN SITU project, funded by Horizon Europe. Anna Hildur leads the IN SITU lab project in Iceland. The project is supported by the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 101061747). The University of Galway is one of the partners led by Dr Patrick Collins, who is Anna Hildur's supervisor.
