Professional biography
Helena is a Research Associate at the Open University. She is currently working on the ARCHES project. ARCHES (Accessible Resources for Cultural Heritage EcoSystems) is a Horizon 2020 funded project.

Previously, Helena worked at different museums and galleries around the world such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the National Gallery in London and the Völkerkunde Museum in Hamburg.

Linda talks about her PhD: 'I like to climb and pick coconuts'
PhD researcher Linda came to academia late in her career. For over a decade she was Chief Executive of a national charity which trained young people to become sports leaders and get people active. She's now a researcher with the OU, looking in to how young people experience activity. The title of this piece is a quote from one of Linda’s co-researchers, who was inventing his own world of adventures as he played.
