The Norfolk Contemporary Art Society (NCAS), in partnership with The Forum Norwich and Norwich University College of Arts are to stage a major city-centre photography exhibition, Photo-ID: Photographers and Scientists explore identity, in August 2009, which will combine with a scientific context to address issues of how we construct personal and social identity, the ways in which our exploding information about the human genome does, or does not, impact on that, and the societal and ethical issues that emerge. The Research Centre, City College Norwich has been appointed as the independent evaluator for this project.

The Research Centre has been successful in bidding for funding from The Big Lottery Fund to widen the availability and accessibility of The SOUL Record™; a toolkit to measure soft outcomes.

The SOUL Record™ will be professionally translated into Polish and Portuguese before being trialled and assessed by key voluntary sector personnel across Norfolk. Upon completion of the project, The Research Centre will identify key learning outcomes from the project to enable further translation into other languages in the future and will make the Polish and Portuguese versions of The SOUL Record™ available nationally.
