Aston University (UK) as coordinator is looking to involve a South Korean art/culture and creative ecosystem (comprising academic and non-academic partners) led by an academic institution for a pilot action in a proposal under this call:
- HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-HERITAGE-05: Creative alliances: Fostering global partnerships in cultural policies and CCI innovation.
The proposal will aim to establish international cultural diplomacy relations for global resilience.
Partners sought:
The academic partner should have strong cultural heritage expertise (digital cultural heritage/use of AI would be added value) and extensive knowledge about the national/local cultural and creative ecosystem and policies/models supporting this ecosystem, particularly cultural, creative industries. Researchers should have established links with / ideally co-produced assets with:
- regional heritage organisation(s) such as museum(s), cultural centres (can eventually join as a beneficiary depending on the scope of the pilot action)
- creative industries/SMEs (equipped with digital/AI expertise) (can eventually join as a beneficiary depending on the scope of the pilot action)
- policy makers (can eventually join as a beneficiary depending on the scope of the pilot action)
