Call
Detailed Call Description
There is a pressing need to explore and test innovative ways to protect monuments, historical buildings and sites from the effects of climate change and natural hazards.
Proposals under this topic should explore innovative and sustainable ways to protect monuments, historical buildings, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes from climate change effects, natural hazards and environmental pollution, taking into consideration their environmental footprint as well as users’ comfort.

Proposals can consider cooperation with European Neighbourhood countries as appropriate for achieving their objectives and increasing impact.
Active involvement of citizens, including young people and cooperation with the cultural and creative industries are strongly encouraged to increase citizens’ scientific literacy, raise awareness and ensure the sustainability of the approach.
