Over the past two years (2022-2024), the Erasmus+ partnership “Recovery of cultural heritage through higher education-driven open innovation“ (eCHOing) has worked with open innovation practices for collaborations between heritage professionals, students and citizens across five countries, focusing on small capacity building and new skills transfer. The coronavirus crisis was seen as an opportunity to revitalize the connection between Higher Education (HE) and society and enable them to assume even more energetically, their role and responsibilities towards European citizens. The project aimed to realize the potential of universities to contribute to the recovery of a sector that has been most severely hit, the cultural and creative sector (CCS), specifically small and medium-sized CHOs.
