Dr Tom Birkett awarded €2m European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to lead research on the legacy of the Vikings.

Congratulations to our colleague Dr Tom Birkett, who has been awarded a €2m European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to lead research on the legacy of the Vikings.
Now Dr Tom Birkett, a researcher at University College Cork (UCC), has been awarded a €2m European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to investigate how ideas, misinformation and extremist narratives about the Vikings evolved.
A unique crowdsourced map, NorseMap will, with the help of the public, attempt to map how Vikings are understood across Europe and investigate how the modern understanding of the Vikings has developed over a thousand years and been reimagined in increasingly diverse ways.
