• The EU has since 1986 supported
various aspects of European
cultural heritage research (more
than 180 million of Euros under
FP7)
• Under the theme Environment, the
Agenda was mainly focused on
conservation actions and
technological innovations

Materials)
• SC 6 (Europe in a changing world – Inclusive, Innovative and
Reflective Societies)
2. Leading Industrial Technologies

Cultural heritage research under H2020
Societal Challenge 5 (2014-15)
Cultural heritage research is being financed
across the 3 pillars of current R&I FP
As an example of CH research financed under the
pillar Societal Challenge - WP SC 5:
- 1 project under the call on energy efficiency for
Historic building (RIBuild project) (5 M Euro) (2014)
- 2 projects under the call on mitigating the impacts of
climate change and natural hazards on cultural
heritage sites, structures and artefacts (HERACLES
and STORM projects) (around 15 ME total) (2015)
Research and Innovation
EU Policy framework on cultural heritage
- Commission communication 'Towards and integrated approach
to cultural heritage for Europe' (2014)
- related Council conclusions and European Parliament report
(2015)
- New Commission 10 priorities, among them:
- Boosting Jobs, Growth and Investment
- A Connected Digital Single Market
- Energy and Climate Action
-
Research and Innovation 6
• EU should promote the innovative use of
cultural heritage
• CH from a perceived cost into an investment
opportunity :
- a production factor for the economy
- a catalyser for social cohesion and
environmental sustainability
- A shift from conservation to transmission:
cultural heritage’s potential as a ‘living resource’
(rather than a ‘stock’ to conserve and protect) (see also the Report 'Getting Cultural Heritage to work for Europe)
A new and forward-looking EU R&I policy agenda
for Cultural Heritage

Overall objective
• Demonstrate cultural heritage's potential as a
driver for sustainable development,
economic growth and better quality of life.
• Develop new business, governance and
financing models, methodologies for
replication and upscaling locally adapted
"regeneration paradigms" and "adaptive
reuses"

Research and Innovation
Overall objective
• Open up new market opportunities for
business, new start-ups, products and
services
• Develop a European reference
framework and provide evidence on
the cost-effectiveness and longer-term
social, benefits of heritage-led
regeneration and adaptive re-use

stage)
Research and Innovation
SC5-21-2016: Heritage-led urban regeneration (3/4)
Implementation modalities
• 'Role models':
• Map, analyse, systematically document and disseminate
successful regeneration paradigms;
• If they so wish, continue their regeneration activities.
• Mentor 'replicators' in developing and implementing their
regeneration project;
Research and Innovation
SC5-21-2016: Heritage-led regeneration (4/4)
Implementation modalities
• 'Replicators' acting as ‘living labs’ to develop and implement a
heritage-led regeneration scheme (plan+participatory/multi-
stakeholder/trans-disciplinary processes);
• Proposals should mobilise and leverage investments beyond
H2020;
• Projects should foresee robust monitoring and documentation (at
least 2yrs during project);
Research and Innovation
