The Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage and Global Change: A New Challenge for Europe

The Heritage Portal is the online research community of the Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage and Global Change: A new Challenge for Europe (JPICH).

The JPICH aims to identify a common vision for Cultural Heritage research among EU member states Associated Countries and to implement that vision through the agreement of a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for Cultural Heritage in Europe.  The Strategic Research Agenda will identify priority areas for research, the sharing of resources and future development.

More information about the JPICH, including a downloadable project brochure, is available at

The JPICH (via its JHEP coordination action) is funded through the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 ) under grant agreement no. 277606.
