من نحن

The Resilient Cultural Heritage (RCH) Call 1 supports transnational collaborative projects that develop innovative approaches to assessing, preparing for, and managing risks affecting cultural heritage, particularly those associated with climate change. The programme aims to strengthen the resilience of the cultural heritage sector by supporting initiatives focused on risk and impact assessment, cultural heritage risk preparedness and management, addressing loss and damage resulting from climate change-induced natural hazards, and promoting sustainable governance frameworks for cultural heritage. Funding is available exclusively for transnational research and innovation projects implemented by international consortia. Projects should contribute to safeguarding cultural heritage assets, enhancing sector resilience, and improving long-term governance and management practices across participating countries. Grant duration and funding levels are determined according to the rules of the participating Funding Partner Organisations, with support provided to eligible consortium partners requesting funding through their respective national or regional funding bodies.

معايير القبول

Applicants must apply as part of a transnational consortium comprising at least three independent legal entities from three different countries, each requesting support from a different Funding Partner Organisation participating in the call. Consortia may include a maximum of seven funding-eligible partners, with no more than two eligible partners from the same country. Associated partners may participate without requesting funding and are not counted toward the consortium limit. The Lead Principal Investigator (PI), participating PIs, and their host institutions must be eligible for funding under the requirements of the relevant participating funding organisation. The consortium coordinator is responsible for submitting proposals through the RCH Electronic Proposal Submission System, while Egyptian applicants must additionally submit identical applications through the STDF online platform at both application stages to satisfy national eligibility requirements. Applications will undergo a two-stage evaluation process consisting of a pre-proposal stage followed by a full proposal stage for shortlisted applicants. The Lead PI and host institution must remain unchanged throughout the application process. Public bodies, research organisations, and higher education institutions applying as beneficiaries or affiliated entities must maintain a compliant Gender Equality Plan in line with Horizon Europe requirements at grant signature and throughout the project implementation period. Evaluation will consider compliance with all transnational and national eligibility requirements, as well as the relevance of the proposed project to the call’s thematic priorities.
