Communicating Time and Culture: Championing a Global Perspective in Science and Technology through Public Engagement (CTC) will create a suite of public-facing, interactive cultural events and workshops and develop learning resources that support and foster an understanding of global histories of science and technology. It will also raise awareness about the significance of British-Chinese creative collaborations in the past and present. CTC will develop impact by disseminating the important findings of the original AHRC project, Time, Culture and Identity: The Co-Creation of Historical Research and Co-Development of Visitor Experience in China and the UK (TCI). It will do so by developing a programme of events for a range of public audiences. Through the outcomes of the events and learning resources, it will engage new local, national, and international audiences for the Science Museum Group and its collaborating partners. Documentation of the events, and the bespoke resources created during CTC, will be preserved digitally, maintaining the project's legacy to subsequent online visitors to the Science Museum Group's website.The original TCI project was designed to bring together British and Chinese expertise in interpreting the history of science and technology, by designing a digital heritage resource that supports visitor experience. TCI was developed with a view to foster collaboration with the Chinese museum and heritage sector and creative industries, to shape science capital, and generate new museum and heritage experiences. The focus on 'time' as a starting point for understanding the shared experiences of Britain and China in the history of science and technology emerged from a scholarship on timekeeping - particularly the production of precision timepieces and the dominance of Western views of time, which were seen as central to 'industrialised nations.' Not only did the historical clock trade provide a useful example of Euro-Sino technological transmission, but this inquiry opened the door to examine the cultures and identities of time, which largely supported further understandings of British-Chinese relations. The forthcoming exhibition, Zimingzhong: Clockwork Treasures from China's Forbidden City, will showcase the unrivalled horological collections of the Palace Museum - objects that embody the historical clock trade. This exhibition was a natural extension of TCI, but not officially part of the original AHRC project. The follow-on project CTC will act as a conduit that brings together the exhibition with the academic findings of the original TCI project. In doing so, it will use these two major resources to inform our public-facing programme and highlight how the two interact to create new understandings of the historical clock trade. TCI's understanding of the cultural differences of museum audiences and the experience of working with creative companies to create innovative museum experiences about the Imperial clock collections will inform CTC's initiative to develop cross-cultural and creative interpretations that will ultimately enhance audience experience.CTC will run for 9 months to deliver four work packages including 'Creating Learning Resources' (WP1), 'Designing Cultural Events' (WP2), 'Knowledge Exchange' (WP3) and 'Producing Summative Documents' (WP4). Designed and led by PI Dr Tilly Blyth and Co-I Dr Carol Lo Yun Chung, in collaboration with creative practitioners, cultural advocates, museum professionals, and academics, CTC will have impact on an average of 3,500 to 4,500 people at Science Museum Lates events, and an estimated 30,000 visitors to the Zimingzhong exhibition across 5 months (September 2020 - January 2021). CTC's impact will be tracked by Co-I Chung through post-events evaluations. Findings will be disseminated through summative papers and documents informing museum practice on audience engagement.

交流时间和文化：通过公众参与（CTC）倡导科学技术的全球视角（CTC）将创建一套面向公共的，互动的文化活动和研讨会，并开发学习资源，以支持和促进对全球科学和技术历史的了解。它还将提高人们对过去和现在英国创意合作的重要性的认识。 CTC将通过传播原始AHRC项目，时间，文化和身份的重要发现来发展影响：历史研究的共同创建以及在中国和英国（TCI）的游客经验共同开发的共同创建。它将通过为一系列公众观众制定活动计划来做到这一点。通过事件和学习资源的结果，它将为科学博物馆集团及其合作伙伴的新本地，国家和国际观众参与。这些事件的文档以及CTC期间创建的定制资源将被数字保存，将项目的遗产维护到随后的在线访问者到科学博物馆集团网站的在线访问者。原始的TCI项目旨在汇集英国和中国的专业知识，以解释历史上的历史知识科学和技术的设计，设计一个支持游客体验的数字遗产资源。 TCI的开发是为了促进与中国博物馆和遗产部门和创意产业的合作，以塑造科学资本，并产生新的博物馆和遗产经验。关注“时间”是理解英国和中国在科学技术史上共同经验的起点被视为“工业化国家”的核心。历史时钟贸易不仅提供了欧洲技术传播的有用例子，而且此询问为检查时间的文化和身份开辟了大门，这在很大程度上支持了对英国关系的进一步理解。即将举行的展览Zimingzhong：来自中国禁忌城市的发条珍宝将展示宫殿博物馆无与伦比的钟表收藏 - 体现历史时钟贸易的物品。该展览是TCI的自然扩展，但不是原始AHRC项目的正式一部分。后续项目CTC将充当渠道，将展览与原始TCI项目的学术发现汇总在一起。这样一来，它将利用这两个主要资源来告知我们的公共面向公众计划，并强调两者如何交互以创造对历史时钟交易的新理解。 TCI对博物馆观众的文化差异的理解以及与创意公司合作创造创新的博物馆经验的经验将为CTC的倡议提供跨文化和创造性的解释，以最终增强观众的经验。 9个月提供四个工作包，包括“创建学习资源”（WP1），“设计文化事件”（WP2），“知识交流”（WP3）和“生产总结文档”（WP4）。由Pi Dr Dill Blyth和Co-I Dr Carol Lo Yun Chung设计和领导，与创意从业人员，文化倡导者，博物馆专业人士和学者合作，CTC平均会影响3,500至4,500人。 ，估计在5个月（2020年9月至2021年1月）的Zimingzhong展览中估计有30,000名游客。 CO-I CHUNG将通过事后评估来跟踪CTC的影响。调查结果将通过汇总论文和文件传播，以告知博物馆练习有关观众的参与。
