Description
???? CALL FOR PARTNERS
HORIZON EUROPE/CLUSTER 2 Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society
???? Attention: we DO NOT need Partners for DISSEMINATION or MANAGEMENT, but ONLY Partners for RESEARCH, & INNOVATION activities (universities, research and innovation centres, public authorities, policy makers)
???? Abstract
The project aims to develop innovative approaches for the safeguarding, enjoyment, and enhancement of tangible and intangible cultural heritage linked to ancient European routes, as a lever for social resilience and territorial cohesion in rural and marginal areas. Taking the Via Appia – Regina Viarum, recently recognized as a UNESCO serial site, as a pilot project, the initiative seeks to develop replicable models for other historical routes across Europe, in close synergy with local communities, territorial authorities, and civil society organizations.
Through a transnational and interdisciplinary consortium composed of universities, research institutions, digital heritage actors, civic organizations, and policy centers, the project intends to:
-map intangible practices linked to historical routes (rituals, knowledge, stories, toponyms, oral memories) through participatory methods;
-activate local HUBs as permanent observatories of territorial resilience and civic participation;
-build an open-data interoperable platform for the archiving, preservation, access, and dissemination of heritage;
-develop policy tools and recommendations for participatory, multi-level governance aimed at sustainable development.
The entire project will be guided by an inclusive and sustainable approach, with the adoption of equality panels, anti-discrimination and gender gap measures, attention to soft mobility, transhumance, local knowledge, traditions, and vocations as contemporary forms of regenerative cultural economy.
Specific Objectives
• Enhance tangible and intangible heritage connected to ancient routes as a factor of local resilience.
• Co-create digital tools and methodologies for documentation and enjoyment.
• Activate participatory and dialogic processes with local communities.
• Translate knowledge into replicable, scalable, and transferable territorial governance guidelines.
Expected Impact
• Greater understanding and reinforcement of local cultural identities and civic competencies in the involved territories.
• Integration of tangible and intangible heritage into local development processes and European cultural strategies.
• Contribution to the protection and revitalization of fragile, rural, or abandoned cultural landscapes.
• Dissemination of a shared value base among European communities through collective memory.
????Expected duration: 36 months
????Indicative requested budget: €3.5–4 million
????Lead Partner: University of Salerno, Italy
