Transnational call for research in cultural heritage

The JPICH (Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage and Global Change) has launched its first Joint Pilot Transnational Call for Proposals, aimed at funding projects in Cultural Heritage with topics covering areas such as materials and decay, use and re-use (including in relation to policy), and understanding, with a closing date for receipt of submissions of 5 April 2013.

JPICH writes:
The call is open to consortia consisting of at least 3 research groups, each based in an eligible institution from different country participating in this call (see attached PDF document below).

Submissions will be accepted under the following four topic areas:

1. Methods, tools (including non-invasive instruments) and modelling for understanding damage and decay mechanisms (including the effects of weathering and climate change) on tangible heritage (including buildings, sites and landscapes);

2. Materials, technologies and procedures for the conservation of tangible cultural heritage;

3. Use and re-use of buildings and landscapes, including the relationship between changes of use and public policy, including costs and added value (for example as a result of planning regulations and urban development);

4. Increasing understanding of cultural values, valuation, interpretation, ethics and identity around all forms of cultural heritage (tangible, intangible and digital heritage).

Funding possibilities will be offered to excellent and innovative networking and/or collaborative research projects. The project must have a maximum duration of 36 months. The overall budget of the call is approximately 3 million Euros.
