Target Audience

Our target audience is not limited to the Italo-Scottish community and events are held in academic and non-academic premises to capitalise on the broad community appeal of the project.

Media Resources

ISRC events are filmed to generate additional archival and educational resources, and audio-visual recordings are made available through both owned websites and the social media to maximise dissemination and impact.
