LED BY UNIVERSITY OF EXETER.

This research area aims to:

provide evidence-based policy reports and recommendations;

create a platform for sharing resources, focusing on methods and tools;

offer a collection of guidelines and best practices about Public-Private-Partnerships and Public-Private-Initiatives.

Its main tasks are:

Task 1: evidence-based policy reports and recommendations.
This task will develop a SWOT analysis, focusing mainly on opportunities.
The reports and recommendations will lay out the main themes, opportunities and problems for policy makers.
Particular attention will be given to the impact of digital technologies on a changing society, IPR in the digital age and the digital practices which can help CH to weather the economic crisis;

Task 2: providing advice, recommendations and resources for living heritage.
This task will develop a toolkit of methods and strategies for living heritage, in order to preserve European CH and pass it on to future generations.
The developed resources will be targeted at CH practitioners, cultural institutions, public administrations, education and training organisations;

Task 3: Public-Private-Partnerships. Since the private sector is a vital partner both for the financing, the realisation and the direct management of the solutions identified in the RICHES research, this task will develop guidelines.
These guidelines will facilitate the analysis of risks related to this kind of financing and to support negotiations between the public authorities and the private sector.
