Explore the vibrant landscape of European cultural heritage through a comprehensive overview of innovative projects driving sustainability, digital transformation, and creativity. Delve into the challenges facing Europe’s rich heritage, from climate change threats to financial constraints, and discover how initiatives are reshaping urban regeneration through inclusive design solutions and community empowerment.
Centred on three priority areas – Green, Digital, and Innovative – the booklet aims to present the diverse range of projects on cultural heritage and cultural and creative industries (CCIs). These projects cover various areas, such as development of environmentally friendly technologies and methods for the management, restoration, and preservation of cultural heritage. They explore how to provide enriching digital experiences for citizens while creating new training opportunities to enhance digital knowledge and skills, particularly in less populated regions.
These projects also devise ways to strengthen the innovation capacity of the CCIs and to leverage cultural heritage assets to drive innovation and competitiveness across multiple sectors of the economy. They aspire to strengthen the protection, restoration, and promotion of cultural heritage, fostering social cohesion, inclusive growth, and a shared European identity. The document highlights the full potential of arts and CCIs as drivers of sustainable innovation.
By reading this booklet, you will gain insights into the projects’ objectives, the challenges they aim to address, and their approach. The aim of this document is to let you explore the diverse array of EU-funded projects in the cultural heritage domain and inspire your own endeavours in cultural heritage research, policymaking, and the advancement of the cultural sector.
