The Joint Programming Initiative in Cultural Heritage and Global Change is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for transnational proposals. The Heritage in Changing Environments call will support the development of new, research-based ideas and knowledge in response to the rapidly and widely changing context with which heritage and heritage practice is faced. It invites research projects that help cultural heritage to meet societal challenges and contribute to the development of society. The call aims to fund excellent research that is collaborative, transnational, interdisciplinary and innovative. The total budget for the call for transnational projects is approximately 4.5 million Euros.
Detailed Eligibility Requirements for each country are published alongside the Heritage in Changing Environments Call for Proposals on the JPICH website.
The Call for Proposals will open on 4 September 2017 and the deadline for submission of proposals will be 30 November 2017, 14:00 CET.
Topics for the Changing Environment joint call
Three broad categories of the changing environments of heritage are addressed in this call:
- changing (physical) environments

Projects funded through this call will use cultural heritage to address global challenges such as:
- the impacts of climate change
- environmental deterioration
- migration
- demographic and social change
- diasporic change
- urbanisation and de-ruralisation
- economic inequity
- changing perceptions and sustainability.
