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.
