Alliance for Research on Cultural Heritage in Europe

Horizon Europe

Acronym: ARCHE

Description

The Cultural Heritage Research and Innovation landscape has changed. New political, technological and socio-economic parameters put emphasis on improving protection, conservation and restoration efficiency of European cultural heritage with green technologies, as well as developing high quality digitisation.

Responding to the challenges, this project will develop a pan European framework for a holistic approach to cultural heritage research and innovation, by creating the Alliance for Research on Cultural Heritage in Europe (ARCHE), a spearheading coordination network of researchers, innovators, heritage professionals, institutional bodies and citizens.

The objective is to engage all cultural heritage actors in the Member States and Associated Countries in the co-design of research and innovation strategies. A detailed assessment of research and innovation gaps and needs for the next decade will be the basis for designing a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for joint programming aiming to increase awareness of heritage and European sense of belonging.
