GreenHer
Centre of Excellence in Green Heritage Science
Acronym: GreenHer
Description
GreenHer project aims to establish a European Centre of Excellence for cultural heritage sciences focused on environmental sustainability, which will be based at the University of Ljubljana (project coordinator). The project, selected in the 2023 European call for proposals “Teaming for Excellence”, brings together leading European institutions in the field of heritage to strengthen research and development capacity in Slovenia and to advance heritage sciences by focusing on environmental sustainability issues.
The Centre of Excellence will develop four research cores:
- Green conservation and restoration;
- Sustainable buildings and sites;
- Participatory engagement;
- Digital heritage, for the development of the Slovenian Cloud for Cultural Heritage (SCCH), linked to the ECCCH.
CNR ISPC will be responsible for mentoring activities, providing strategic guidelines for research, development and innovation in the cultural heritage sector, training, networking and exchanges, research and innovation in the fields of intangible heritage, sustainable cultural tourism, assessments of the value and significance of cultural heritage within different communities, intangible heritage, the integration of the circular economy in the reuse and regeneration of cultural heritage, Heritage Building Information Modelling and energy improvement of historical buildings, and impact assessment for projects related to cultural heritage.
In line with the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus, GreenHer will contribute to the development of research and innovation on the themes of sustainable tourism, development policies, management, care and heritage management in Slovenia and will establish itself as a leading institution in these fields at European level.
