The objective of KreativEU Research is to promote a high quality and transnational research-based environment by investing attention on local, regional and national ecocultural identities, heritage, traditions, architecture, crafts, folklore, and cultural landscape, whilst linking and connecting this to a broader European perspective, in order to contribute to the establishment of a European University unique in its kind, capable of offering a competitive and an attractive European Research system.
KreativEU Research entails:
- establishing a common strategic research agenda around the topic “Cultural memory and cultural material identity and heritage in intercultural relations: Local histories and local culture (including everyday history and lifestyles, sustainable use of landscape, and ecocultural identity) within the context of the international comparison”,
- mapping of national and local ecocultural identities, traditions, architecture, crafts, and folklore,
- collecting source materials and knowledge, and promoting experience exchange,
- organising scientific events (e.g., network conferences, workshops, walking seminars, etc.),
- promoting excellence in open access to scientific knowledge,
- setting up of the KreativEU transnational research working groups.
KreativEU Research is coordinated by the University of South Bohemia České Budějovice (Leader) and Opole University of Technology (Co-leader).
