WP1. : Alignment of national research programmes and activities with JPI Cultural Heritage Further develop the overview of national research programmes and activities relevant to Cultural Heritage mapping these to the priorities of the SRA identifying best practices in policy initiatives as well as policy instruments. Actively promoting the implementation of alignment of the national research programmes and activities relevant to Cultural Heritage of the Participants, based on the SRA, across the consortium and beyond the JPICH. 7

WP1. : Alignment of national research programmes and activities with JPI Cultural Heritage Task 1.1: overview of policies and instruments (Belspo, KIK) Task 1.2: best practices (RCN, NO) Task 1.3: engagement with decision makers (ANR, Fr and RPF, Cy) 8

State of the art JHEP2, WP1: alignment of national research programmes and activities with JPI CH Task 1.1 : overview on politics and instruments BELSPO (KIK) Task 1.2: Best practices RCN (NO) On line questionnaire related to 1.1 and 1.2; open from 1 May 9 Sept 2016 Content questionnaire: Net heritage survey, Eralearn and a WG (B, NO, SE, ES)

Some results 14 countries participated Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands and United Kingdom Is there a national/federal strategy on research which also applies to CH? Yes (14) The number of national/regional research programmes/country: from 1 to 8, mostly dedicated to CH (minority part of a larger programme)

Main CH priorities of the research strategy? Varies from no real priority, to global aspects (environmental threats) to very focused items (fe built environment)

Focus of the programme (aims) Research within cutting edge fields Support government it its strategy to promote «green transition» Climate change Fundamental research Stimulate interdisciplinary research Address societal challenges through publicprivate collaborations Alignment to creative industries Foster scientific research in museum sector

Focus of the programme (aims) National and cultural identity Knowledge about the past Archaeological research «Funding groups participating in transnational calls (JPI, Eranet, etc )»

Is the programme aligned to or influenced by other national or international programmes or initiatives within CH? JPI CH (through SRA) H2020 Regional/national programmes

Alignment definition and approach A modification of national research programmes, priorities or activities to bring them in line with joint research priorities in the context of joint programming 3 levels: SRA calls activities networking activities State of the art; possibilities in the future, bottlenecks and difficulties and how to deal with them

Alignment Strategic level More than 50% have changed their strategy as a consequence of JPI CH Even more state they have the possibility to change (to align more with the JPI CH) But some bottlenecks/difficulties are pointed out hereby suggesting some improvements and actions to tackle them
