Joint Programming Initiatives

Cultural Heritage and Global Change: a new challenge for Europe

Since 2014, the Foundation for Science and Technology has taken on the role of national representation in the Joint Programming Iniciative Cultural Heritage and Global Change (JPI CH), integrating its Coordination and Support Action (Joint Heritage European Program, JHEP2),which ended in 2019.

In line with the overall objectives of the Initiative - aligning strategic research and innovation agendas and increasing the value of relevant investments in R & D and national and community infrastructures through joint planning and implementation of transnational funding programs - and already after the integration of Portugal in the Initiative, the network ERA-NET Heritage Plus launched in 2015 a joint transnational call for innovative collaborative proposals in the area of material, immaterial and digital heritage, which had national participation. In 2019, JPI CH launched another transnational call for proposals Conservation, Protection and Use, which had national participation as well.

JPI CH announces a new funding opportunity for joint transnational proposals, a call under the topic Cultural Heritage, Identities & Perspectives: Responding to Changing Societies.

Cultural Heritage, Identities & Perspectives: Responding to Changing Societies’ Joint Call

Researchers are invited to submit research proposals on the role of heritage in society from different (inter)national perspectives and value systems. This includes questions such as what role heritage plays in the formation of identities, how institutions can manage heritage in an inclusive manner, and to what extent digitization contributes to meaningful access to heritage. The call aims to support interdisciplinary research that is set up and carried out by transnational consortia within the context of a single project.

The total budget for the call for transnational projects is approximately 6.5M€.

The documents relating to the joint call Cultural Heritage, Identities & Perspectives: Responding to Changing Societies are available on the JPI CH website (http://jpi-ch.eu/joint-activities/cultural-heritage-identities-perspectives-responding-to-changing-societies-joint-call/ and http://jpi-ch.eu/2020/03/cultural-heritage-identities-perspectives-responding-to-changing-societies-official-launch/) as well as on the submissions portal.

The Call Announcement and Guidelines for Applicants contains detailed information on call objectives, topics and expected impact, national/regional funding rules and how to apply for funding.
