Jammer, want het is op zich een mooi lightweight fundingkanaal voor onderzoeksprojecten met kleinere internationale consortia. Vriendelijke groeten, Paul ---- Prof. dr.

ECHOES CONSULTATION: HELP SHAPE THE CULTURAL HERITAGE CLOUD The ECHOES Consultation aims to map diverse cultural heritage communities, understanding their needs and expectations for the Cultural Heritage Cloud. Your contributions will help shape the Cloud with and for heritage communities. As a first step, we have launched an online questionnaire [1] to identify heritage professionals and researchers and explore their use of digital tools in daily work. The results will guide the development of the Cloud's infrastructure, tools, services, training, and community-building efforts. * Who can participate? All cultural heritage stakeholders, including professionals, researchers, computer scientists, developers, institutions, and umbrella organisations. * Deadline: The questionnaire will remain open until April 2025. ECHOES CASCADING GRANTS: FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FOR CHIS The First Call of the ECHOES Cascading Grants Programme supports cultural heritage institutions in contributing datasets for use within the Cultural Heritage Cloud. Proposals should define the dataset's intended user community, purpose, expected outcomes, and broader benefits. Applicants should also outline how they envision using the Cloud for their project. * Funding: Up to EUR60,000 for a maximum of 12 projects. * Who can apply? Any CHI based in a Horizon Europe country, either independently or as the lead partner of a consortium. We particularly encourage applications from smaller, medium-sized, and under-resourced CHIs, as well as interdisciplinary consortia. * Deadline: Proposals must be submitted by 15 May 2025 (23:59 CEST). * How to apply? The submission platform will open in April 2025, and an Info Day will be organised in the coming weeks. More details, including the full Guide for Applicants, can be found here [2]. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
