Join the Horizon Europe (Cluster 2) proposal on safeguarding and enhancing cultural heritage along historic European routes

The University of Salerno (Italy) is leading a proposal for the upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 2 call, focused on developing innovative approaches for the safeguarding, enjoyment, and enhancement of tangible and intangible cultural heritage linked to ancient European routes. The project aims to serve as a driver for social resilience and territorial cohesion in rural and marginal areas.

Using the Via Appia – Regina Viarum, recently inscribed as a UNESCO serial site, as a pilot case, the initiative seeks to create replicable models for other historical routes across Europe. It will work in close synergy with local communities, territorial authorities, and civil society organizations, within a transnational and interdisciplinary consortium of universities, research institutions, digital heritage actors, and policy centers.

The project adopts an inclusive and sustainable approach, with a strong focus on soft mobility, local knowledge, transhumance, traditions, and territorial vocations as contemporary expressions of a regenerative cultural economy. Specific measures will be implemented to ensure gender equality, non-discrimination, and the reduction of structural gaps throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Partners are sought exclusively for research and innovation activities. The consortium is looking for universities, research and innovation centres, public authorities, and policy makers. Partners for dissemination or management tasks are not needed.

Expressions of interest should be sent to cspc.dispac@unisa.it (preferably including your organisation’s PIF – Partner Information Form).

Join the CIRCUNAUTA Consortium: Fostering the adoption of circular practices in tourism, through the development of circular systemic solutions across several areas

CIRCUNAUTA is a proposal under preparation for the upcoming CCRI 2025 call, focused on advancing the circular economy in the tourism sector by developing and implementing Circular Systemic Solutions (CSS) in key areas such as bioeconomy, water, textiles, construction, and the blue economy.

The consortium is seeking a sixth regional demonstrator partner to join as a validator or replicator of these solutions within their territory. The project aims to achieve high-impact, real-life implementations, fostering cross-sectoral collaboration by engaging key stakeholders such as SMEs, public authorities, and civil society.

CIRCUNAUTA will support the design and validation of governance, business, and financing models for long-term systemic solutions; the assessment of impacts using CCRI KPIs for circularity, resource efficiency, and territorial cohesion; the development of Digital Product Passports (DPPs); and the use of participatory tools to capture local values and perceptions, enabling context-aware replication.

This project offers a strategic opportunity for regions looking to drive circular transitions through tourism, strengthen regional value chains, and align with the EU sustainability agenda. Interested entities are invited to get in touch to explore how to join the consortium.
