Creative Cultural Heritage (CreativeCH), funded under the Seventh Framework Programm from European Commission, “will promote cooperation and mutual innovation among organisations of Science & Technology (S&T), Cultural Heritage (CH) and Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI), and highlight the contribution of such cooperation and innovations to vital European economic, social and cultural objectives.” [1]
The international project will include, at regional level, a series of showcases, which will demonstrate how the cooperation of S&T, CH and CCI organisations “can help overcome barriers in the access to, and understanding of, cultural heritage.” [1]
At European level, the project will promote the sharing of knowledge and experiences with “an open peer-learning network, a series of workshops at major European events, and a virtual forum for students and practitioners“. [1]
CreativeCH began in October and it will run until September of 2014. EuroMACHS’ blog will be following further developments and soon will have more information on the project.
