EUROPEAN PROJECTS

RECOLOR - Reviving and EnhanCing artwOrks and Landscapes Of the adRiatic- (Interreg ITA-HR; Priority Axis:Environment and cultural heritage); Start date: 1/2/2019. She has the scientific responsibility for the Bologna University unit. The general goal of the RECOLOR project is to enhance the tourist potential of urban and natural landscapes in Croatia and Italy, often not fully exploited and not included yet in traditional tourist circuits. Thanks to its methodology, moving from the analysis of figurative artworks and the promotion of tourist itineraries based on them, RECOLOR is innovative in its capacity to address at the same time both natural and cultural heritage. The project will promote relevant and less known artworks, creating specific itineraries to visit the still-existing landscapes there depicted, developing new tourist offers and promoting a season adjustment of tourist flow.

RurALLURE. Promotion of rural museums and heritage sites in the vicinity of European pilgrimage routes- Call: H2020-SC6-TRANSFORMATIONS-19-2020/CSA. Date of start: 1/1/2021. She is part of the research Team. The rurALLURE action aims to leverage the state-of-the-art in information technologies in order to promote rural museums and heritage sites in the vicinity of major European pilgrimage routes. The goal is to foster symbiosis between the rural environment and the pilgrimage routes, so that the ongoing investment in the latter permeates to the nearby rural areas and, the other way round, the cultural experience of the pilgrimage is enriched by the vast cultural heritage that most often goes unnoticed.

FABROUTES - THE FAB ROUTES: DIGITAL SKILLS TO PROMOTE EU CULTURAL ROUTES- Start date: 1/10/2020. She is part of the Research Team. The project wants to enhance EU Cultural Routes by designing an innovative educational module to allow their members/networks to improve knowledge on topics such as Cultural Heritage Management, Cultural marketing/branding and social participation. (KA202 - Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training).

1Europe - UE-Erasmus+ KA2 - Alleances - Knowledge Alliances for Higher Education. She is member of the Unibo Self Stearing Committee for Cultural Heritage. The project was funded among the first European University pilots selected by the European Commission in June 2019. The pilot will establish a Europe-wide living lab for testing and scaling Joint Innovative Formats (JIFs) for education and mobility. Co-funded with an Erasmus+ grant of €5 million for three years and coordinated by KU Leuven, 1Europe is central to our ambition to create a future-looking European virtual campus, turning the European Higher Education Area into reality.
