The JPICH (Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage and Global Change) has launched its first Joint Pilot Transnational Call for Proposals, aimed at funding transnational Research Projects in Cultural Heritage.
The call was officially launched on January 10th 2013 and the closing date for receipt of submissions will be April 5th 2013.
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.
Further details, as well as National Contact Points for each participating country, are contained in the official call text, which is attached in PDF format below.
