contributing to a fully operational ERA and strengthening

Europe’s leadership and competitiveness

The NCPs were asked to:

• Review the Common Framework template and guidance provided

• Add additional, high priority research areas, gaps and needs as

required.

• Rank top 12 priorities in terms of: a) the NCP (national) priorities,

and b) requiring European collaboration.


11

• Four meetings of the Expert Group to analyse inputs from

National Consultation Panels

• To summarise:

• Of the 16 respondents, 8 ranked priorities in terms of European

collaboration

• Very good correlation between national and European priorities

• Some research areas were added, others were amended, the

majority stayed the same as in the common framework

• In total 86 separate prioritised research areas were received and

then mapped/aligned

• 31 new research areas

• Additional comments were provided by some participants

Expert Group input

12

• 4th May 2012 - Deadline for inputs from NCPs

• Summer / Autumn 2012 - Expert Group analysed NCP inputs

• Summer 2012 - Foresight work began

• August 2012 – Report by Expert Group on the completed frameworks

(D2.3)

• September 2012 - JPI Scientific Committee 2nd meeting - approved the

process so far

Expert Group input

13

• Two levels of prioritisation in the process:

• NCPs identified and prioritised 12 research areas each;

• Expert Group mapped and aligned all these research areas with each

other.

• The information under ‘Research Gaps and Needs’, as well as the

comments provided by NCPs informed the mapping.

• Where an individual priority was only mentioned once, it was

subsumed into a ‘higher’ and ‘larger’ priority.

• Structure of the SRA emerged from the content.

• Structure of SRA discussed and agreed by Scientific Committee in

September 2012 and at the JHEP October 2012 meeting

Expert Group input

14

• Four priority areas for the SRA identified:

• Developing a reflective society

• Connecting people with heritage

• Creating knowledge

• Safeguarding our cultural heritage resource

• Additional context areas identified and assembled as an Enabling

Framework:

• Capability and capacity

• Management strategies

• Knowledge sharing

• Research infrastructure

• Policy, laws and regulation

Production of the draft

Strategic Research Agenda

26

The SRA is about presenting cultural heritage as an integrated

research area to policy makers. Different types of heritage

cannot be seen as separate issues and thus the priorities

identified in the SRA cover (and aim to go beyond) the

individual aspects of tangible, intangible and digital heritage.

Production of the draft SRA

27

• Aim was for the process and the information to be transparent

• Kept to SRA Structure presented and approved at JHEP October

2012 meetings

• Professional editor employed

• Written, edited and organised to provide different levels of

information to different audiences

• Once SRA is published, all information to be widely available at

www.jpi-culturalheritage.eu


28

• Further work on incorporating research areas and identifying the

main areas under each priority:

• Developing a reflective society:• Identity and Perception; Values; Ethics

• Connecting people with heritage:• Protection through Use; Sustainability; Security; Heritage

Information

• Creating knowledge:• Linking information; Change; Methods and measurement;

Integrating Risks

• Safeguarding our cultural heritage resource:• Conservation; Adaptation and mitigation

• Integration of, where possible, Foresight study into the general text


• Different levels of information and intended audiences:

• Main SRA text for policy makers

• Annexes for policy/decision-makers and researchers:• Creating the Strategic Research Agenda (Process)

• Summary of individual NCP priorities (Top 12s)

• Real-Time Delphi Study on the Future of Cultural Heritage

Research - a summary (Top 4 drivers and views on CH research

environment)

• Further detail and information at www.jpi-culturalheritage.eu

for decision makers, researchers etc:• Lists of all NCP members

• Each NCP input

• The Cultural Heritage Drivers Synthesis Report

• The Real Time Delphi Report

• The Futures Literacy Workshop report
