Call for Seed Money: cultural heritage and sustainability challenges
The CULTural heritage and SUStainability (CULTSUS) network invites researchers at the University of Gothenburg to apply for Seed Money to develop new, collaborative research ideas in line with the CULTSUS approach.
CULTSUS
CULTSUS is one of the thematic profile areas based at the Faculty of Science and Technology and is represented by all faculties across the University of Gothenburg. CULTSUS explores the vital intersections between cultural heritage and sustainable development, with themes spanning preservation, adaptive reuse, circular economy, resource management, social justice, identity, and environmental change.
Aim
This call seeks innovative projects that bring critical heritage perspectives into dialogue with urgent sustainability challenges across local, regional, and global contexts.
This funding is meant to support new collaborations across CULTSUS institutions and disciplines through the organisations of workshops, retreats, or pilot studies that lead to larger research proposals in 2026.
Applicants must be affiliated with a CULTSUS partner institution at the University of Gothenburg. Proposals should involve at least two CULTSUS partners, or one CULTSUS partner and an external collaborator.
Questions can be directed to Feras Hammami (cultsus@gu.se).
Application deadline: 12 December, 23:59 CET.
