Subject: ANN: Online petition: cultural heritage research in the EU 
Framework Programme HORIZON 2020

Dear colleagues of the cultural heritage research community,

In the proposal of the European Commission for the 8th EU Framework 
Programme for Research and Innovation, HORIZON 2020, cultural heritage

has been omitted completely, thus taking away all the funds previously

available for research in this field. This decision has serious 
consequences, since the whole basis for the conservation of cultural 
heritage in Europe will be eliminated, probably for many years to
come.

Against this background, members of the Focus Areas Cultural Heritage 
(FACH) of the European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP) have 
taken action for an online petition to be addressed to the European 
Parliament and the European Council in order to plead strongly for the

inclusion of cultural heritage research in HORIZON 2020.

In signing this letter, the European cultural heritage research 
community request the EU to acknowledge fully its responsibilities, now

and in the future, to put cultural heritage research back high on its 
agenda and to address the topic appropriately in the next Framework 
Programme.

Please support this petition with your vote to ensure further promotion

of cultural heritage research:

Thank you very much for your attention.
