Research commences on Responding to Changing Societies

Published on: February 1, 2021

The call Cultural Heritage, Identities & Perspectives: Responding to Changing Societies (CHIP) of the Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage invited scholars to submit research proposals on the role of heritage in society from different (inter)national perspectives and value systems. Six projects, with research topics ranging from ‘Olive Heritage’ to ‘South-East Asian Sound Archives’ have now been selected for funding. The research projects collectively receive approximately EUR 3.9 million and will start this year. The projects are:

CULTIVATE: Co-creating cultural narratives for sustainable rural development;
DeCoSEAS¹: Decolonizing South-East Asian Sound Archives;
NuSPACES: Nuclear spaces: Communities, Materialities and Locations of Nuclear Cultural Heritage;
OLIVE4ALL: Olive Heritage for Sustainable Development: Raising Community Awareness of Living Heritage;
PICCH¹: Polyvocal Interpretation of Contested Colonial Heritage;
RCL: ICH¹: Re-voicing cultural landscapes: narratives, perspectives and performances of marginalised intangible cultural heritage.
