We have the following Horizon Europe projects in our portfolio at the moment:
Why do museums participate in such projects?
There are many reasons why museums and cultural organisations participate in European project work. The most obvious is probably that Horizon Europe projects are fully funded. This means that we can set aside resources and focus directly on measures without using our core funds to participate.
But there is much more that is exciting. If we look at all four Horizon Europe projects that we are involved in, we work with a total of 122 partners from different European countries, from universities to businesses, social actors, industry and other cultural organisations. There is a large network of talented people who are inspiring and influential.
The museum job is quite varied in itself. Museums must not only preserve old things and convey stories, they also deliver high on research and knowledge production in order to receive government funding. Such projects give Museum Nord opportunities to participate in innovation, in the creation and publication of new knowledge and, not least, a large research network.
The European Commission has identified five missions for which it wants concrete and ambitious solutions by 2030 to solve global societal challenges. We are very happy to be able to contribute to those.
