Objective This proposal aims to contribute to the transformation of Cyprus into a regional cultural heritage (CH) excellence hub, whereby technologically innovation and specialisation will have a prominent development role. To this end, key local public academic institutions and national policy makers / stakeholders are teaming with leading international institutions to lay the groundwork beneath an “Eastern Mediterranean Science and Technology Centre for Archaeology and Cultural heritage”, in short MedSTACH.MedSTACH’s mission and business strategy address Environmental Dimensions of Sustainable Growth, as defined by the Smart Specialisation Strategy for Cyprus (S3Cy), responding, in particular, to the need for protection, promotion and valorisation of the island’s unique CH capital. In addition, MedSTACH addresses all horizontal priorities of S3Cy, namely, Extended Innovation, Human Capital, Promotion of Cooperation, Enhancement of Extroversion, and Information Technologies, as well as Tourism, the major priority sector for Cyprus’s sustainable growth, and the secondary priority sector of Built Environment.In terms of R&I, the envisaged Centre’s activities will encompass the following Key Research Domains (KRDs) that cover multiple facets of archaeological enquiry and cultural heritage priorities: Heritage Exploration; Spatial Inference; Heritage Protection; Material Characterization; these KRDs will be supported by and provide feedback to the Heritage ICT Unit. The activities of the proposed Centre of Excellence on archaeology and CH will contribute to on-going efforts to overcome the present economic crisis in Cyprus, as well as to reconstruct and transform the island’s economy and society according to the strategic framework “Europe 2020”. The depth and breadth of the collective expertise of MedSTACH consortium partners offers the unique potential to overcome local barriers and excel in R&I while promoting smart specialisation and sustainable job creation Programme(s) H2020-EU.4.a. - Teaming of excellent research institutions and low performing RDI regions Main Programme Topic(s) WIDESPREAD-04-2017 - Teaming Phase 1 Call for proposal H2020-WIDESPREAD-2016-2017 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-WIDESPREAD-04-2017-TeamingPhase1 Funding Scheme CSA - Coordination and support action Coordinator TECHNOLOGIKO PANEPISTIMIO KYPROU Net EU contribution € 115 625,00 Address ARCHBISHOP KYPRIANOS 31 SAVINGS COOPERATIVE BANK BUILDING 3RD FLOOR 3036 Lemesos Cyprus See on map Region Κύπρος Κύπρος Κύπρος Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 115 625,00 Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS Cyprus Net EU contribution € 69 000,00 Address AVENUE PANEPISTIMIOU 2109 AGLANTZI 1678 Nicosia See on map Region Κύπρος Κύπρος Κύπρος Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 69 000,00 MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND WORKS Cyprus Net EU contribution € 32 500,00 Address Acheon 28 1424 Nicosia See on map Region Κύπρος Κύπρος Κύπρος Activity type Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 32 500,00 YFYPOURGEIO TOURISMOU Cyprus Net EU contribution € 38 750,00 Address Leoforos Lemesou 19 2112 Aglantzia See on map Region Κύπρος Κύπρος Κύπρος Activity type Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 38 750,00 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 75 000,00 Address GOWER STREET WC1E 6BT London See on map Region London Inner London — West Camden and City of London Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 75 000,00 IDRYMA TECHNOLOGIAS KAI EREVNAS Greece Net EU contribution € 68 750,00 Address N PLASTIRA STR 100 70013 Irakleio See on map Region Νησιά Αιγαίου Κρήτη Ηράκλειο Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 68 750,00
