Summary
Cultural goods and artefacts are put at risk through a number of man-made actions. Very often, it is also linked to a certain ideology that aims to destroy collective memory and dismember people’s identity.
Research is needed at the level of prevention to protect cultural artefacts from falling victims of theft, smuggling or illicit trade.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals under this topic should explore preventive actions such as methods or technologies/materials of non-destructive marking and digital detection of cultural goods with respect to material and nature of artefacts and ways to identify cultural objects. The proposed technologies should be sustainable and detectable, preferably without heavy or expensive equipment. Building on existing research achievements, networks and cooperation facilities, projects should contribute to provenance research of cultural heritage, as well as to further awareness raising and mobilizing the actors involved, such as art dealers, auction houses, policy makers, law enforcement agents, stakeholders or citizens.
Proposals are encouraged to include interdisciplinary cooperation with local, regional and national authorities, as well as cultural and creative stakeholders to attract and engage the public, in particular young people.
International cooperation is encouraged as appropriate.
