Projects
Since acquiring IRO status, IWM has led three major AHRC-supported research projects:
Whose Remembrance?, an AHRC Connected Communities project, 2012-13, which investigated the experience of colonial troops in the First World War.
BBC Monitoring Transcripts: AHRC international Network, 2015-2016, which united academics and researchers from around the world to scope the academic potential of the transcripts of the broadcasts monitored between 1939-1982.
Shared Digital Futures, 2022, a follow on project from the AHRC Capability for Collections fund, which explores how partnership-based interpretative curation methods can run alongside museum archiving and preservation processes.
IWM has also acted as Co-Investigator on several other major AHRC-supported research projects - such as Tim Hetherington Collection and Conflict Imagery Network, Filming for peace in 1990s Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and Provisional Semantics.

Conferences
IWM regularly participates in and organises conferences – usually in partnership with universities or relevant institutions such as the Institute of Historical Research. IWM is a co-organiser – with Royal Holloway University of London, Birkbeck College and Wolverhampton University - of Beyond Camps and Forced Labour: current research into survivors of Nazi persecution, a multi-disciplinary three-day academic conference which has taken place every three years since 2003, attracting scholars researching aspects of survivors of the Nazi regime from around seventeen countries.
Other notable conferences include:
Curating the Great War, September 2018
Enemy Encounters, July 2021
