ASH in society
ASH is a regular contributor to the Amsterdam debate centre SPUI 25 and the educational programme of the Illustere School.
Valorisation
One of ASH’s priorities in the coming years is to increase the exposure of ASH research results to the wider public, private and cultural sectors, as well as the general public. Some examples of successful partnerships between ASH researchers and external parties are presented here:
- De Gouden Eeuw (The Golden Age)
- The History of Public Mental Health in 20th Century Amsterdam
- Printed in Amsterdam. Amsterdam Printmakers and -publishers in the Golden Age
- Anton Heyboer prints: research into six relief prints signed ‘Anton Heyboer’
The introduction of the ASH Valorisation Award (see below) in 2014 has further helped to highlight and honour outreach initiatives.
