Under the framework of 19th European Week of Regions and Cities, ICHEC C-SHIP program, the Metropolitan Research Institute, the Institute for Research on Innovation and Services for Development IRISS-CNR, and the European Research Executive Agency of the European Commission kindly invites you to their joint workshop: Collaborative heritage ecosystems in post-pandemic EU. The workshop will take place on Tuesday 12 October 2021 from 11:30 to 13:00.

The CLIC Knowledge and Information Hub platform has been renewed! It has been enriched with information about opportunities of cultural heritage adaptive reuse in Europe and a knowledge base of all existing literature and regulations on Adaptive Reuse and Circular Economy topics

In 2011 UNESCO has adopted the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL), meant as an addition to existing conservation approaches. The Historic Urban Landscape is an approach that aims to manage urban heritage conservation and sustainable development in a holistic fashion.
Between May 2018 and September 2020, 5 Historic Urban Landscape workshops were carried out in the CLIC pilot cities under the coordination of Eindhoven University of Technology.

Cultural heritage adaptive reuse activities embody circular economy dimensions, which engender social, cultural, environmental and economic regeneration, within the global value chain. Such activities, including adaptive reuse and energy retrofit of built heritage structures, protection of natural eco-systems and cultivation of socio-cultural community enterprise endeavours, involve long-term investment horizons necessitating the integration of sustainable funding mechanisms.

INIZIATIVA, partner of CLIC project, has developed a proposal of three circular financing mechanisms, i.e. Hybrid Public-Private-Partnership Approach, Revolving Circular Impact Fund and Investment Readiness Facility, which will be presented in the deliverable 4.2 expected at the end of September 2021.
