Research residency

The CAMP research residency is a stretch of time in Plymouth for a member (or an invited peer) to sit with a question, not a camping holiday. Rooms have been borrowed at Leadworks and partner sites. The work is reading, walking, talking, and leaving a public trace that other members can argue with.

Residents are asked to say what kit they are bringing and what they need to leave behind. A research week that also moves furniture or framed work should use the crate sheet on the crate day bulletin so hosts are not guessing overnight.

Outcomes have included short talks, annotated walks, and notes that later feed a crit. The residency is not a hotel. It is a desk, a key, and a membership that will still be here when the boxes go back on a train or a van.

If your research needs a London archive day as well as a Plymouth week, say so in the application. The visiting exchange page is how we host the return trip without inventing a second programme.
