RICHES signs a Memorandum of Understanding with the "EuroVision – Museums Exhibiting Europe" (EMEE) projectRICHES (Renewal, Innovation and Change: Heritage and European Society) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the project "EuroVision – Museums Exhibiting Europe" (EMEE). This new cooperation will allow exploring synergies between both projects, especially on the case studies addressing the role of museums. The RICHES workshop “The context of change and the move from analogue to digital” (Ankara, 13-14 May 2015) has been the first opportunity to share experiences. Representatives of the EMEE project have attended the event, which has been the framework to discuss risks and opportunities on this context of change and its impact on Cultural Heritage.
The project, which runs for four years (2012-2016) and is funded by the Culture Programme of the European Union, was initiated by the Chair of History Didactics of Augsburg University. It is implemented by eight interdisciplinary project partners from seven European countries. The aim of the project is to advance the modernization of museums by re-interpreting museum objects and topics from a trans-regional European perspective as well as by innovative mediating approaches. Thereby, especially national and regional museums shall be encouraged to try out new ideas and concepts through which a timely orientation of the institution "museum" in today's intercultural, heterogeneous society can be furthered.
