A research network funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders and supplemented by Global Wales, is dedicated to exploring the concept of heritage practice communities (HPCs) across multiple disciplines. HPCs, distinct from traditional citizen science, are grassroots groups that independently shape their research agendas, impacting heritage preservation and accessibility. The SRN collaborates with experts from various fields, including archaeology, museology, and digital humanities, to examine specific HPC case studies like hobby metal detectorists and family history groups.
The project investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can future-proof our cultural heritage, for curation of archival materials as well as providing better search and access to them. The purpose of the research project is to compare the requirements placed on archives of various kinds with the possibilities that AI offers. The project will address two sets of research questions:
InterPARES Trust AI (2021-2026) is a multi-national interdisciplinary project aiming to design, develop, and leverage Artificial Intelligence to support the ongoing availability and accessibility of trustworthy public records by forming a sustainable, ongoing partnership pr
The goal of NORDeHEALTH is to enable further digitalization of the public health sector by providing concrete feedback to the national authorities in the respective countries, provide guidelines and frameworks for design, implementation and evaluation of personal eHealthservices (PeHS).
The E-CURATORS project will advance our knowledge on archaeological curation practices involving networked global infrastructures, readily available digital devices, tools and services, and diverse communities, and will address their pragmatic implications for long term preservation and access to the archaeological record, professional practice, and community engagement.
LAMC3 brings into focus the current changes and challenges experienced by publicly funded libraries, archives and museums, the so-called LAM institutions. Budget cuts, digital technology, cultural policy requirements and new patterns of use are among the conditions that have resulted in major changes since the millennium.
POEM (Participatory Memory Practices: Concepts, strategies, and media infrastructures for envisioning socially inclusive potential futures of European Societies through culture) is a consortium of high profile universities, acknowledged memory institutions, civil society organizations, and SMEs located in Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the UK. The aim of the POEM programme is to contribute to future-envisioning heritage politics, the empowerment of groups on the margins, and their potential to participate in the civil society as well as in the labour markets.
Archaeology is everywhere. Archaeological knowledge and knowledge of archaeology is relevant in different sectors of life from scholarly research of the past and land development to schools, museums and local community groups. In spite of this, the current understanding of how archaeologists work and how archaeological knowledge is produced and used is fragmented and incomplete.
