EU-funded researchers in collaboration with historic city centres are developing new regeneration approaches, capitalising on the cities' heritage to transform their centres into creative and sustainable districts. The aim is to generate economic growth, create jobs and improve quality of life.
Europe has some of the richest cultural heritage in the world. Yet its historic sites, monuments and museums are at risk from climate change and natural disasters. An EU-funded project is developing methods, tools, services and policies to protect this irreplaceable cultural legacy.
Many historic buildings in Europe are not energy efficient. Now, EU-funded researchers are developing a web tool on how to install internal thermal insulation in historic buildings that maintains their heritage value and reduces their energy consumption, with an acceptable safety level against deterioration.
At a time when consensus on Europe's past is breaking down, EU-funded researchers are rethinking the continent's heritage. The aim is to develop inclusive ways of viewing identity which counteract disaffection and promote civility.
An EU-funded project is creating a Europe-wide cultural heritage research infrastructure to provide easier access to scientific facilities, archival information and expertise and to improve training in heritage science.
People move from one country or continent to another for many reasons, and the pace of migration is speeding up. An EU-funded project looked at how museums can reflect the impact of these flows in today's interconnected, multicultural world.
EU-funded researchers are developing art-based methods of promoting reflection and dialogue on contentious aspects of Europe's cultural heritage. Transmission of these methods aims to increase inclusiveness and foster convivial relations, thereby helping to shape European imagination.
How does the past inform the lives of children and young people? A global team of EU-funded researchers is examining this issue by assessing how stories from classical antiquity impact on popular culture and society. The project’s results and outputs will provide valuable resources for scholars and teachers.
EU-funded researchers believe related projects could achieve far greater efficiencies if they pool their resources and efforts in data collection and management across disciplines.
EU-funded researchers have digitally connected valuable archaeological sources from around the world, providing easy online access to professionals and instilling a culture of information sharing in the field.
