Early leaders and contributors included professors with affiliations to King's College London, University College London, University of Birmingham, University of Leeds and University of Manchester, who built ties to organizations like Council of Europe cultural programs and research initiatives funded through grants from entities akin to European Research Council and national bodies such as National Endowment for the Humanities and Arts and Humanities Research Council.
