In 2016, the NIHSS commissioned MISTRA to draft a concept document that will serve as a basis for a masterplan framework for the establishment of Heritage Hubs in South Africa. The Hubs will play a catalytic role in ensuring the welfare of the humanities and social sciences fields. MISTRA conducted a feasibility study to identify the conceptual approach, the methodology as well as the processes that should inform a full-scale research on conversion of Heritage Sites into Learning Centres.
