Navigate through more than 26,000 institutions and over 10,000 research projects to discover geographical distributions, collaboration networks, and funding patterns across Europe. Use interactive maps and filters to explore how heritage research has evolved over the decades, identify key institutional partnerships, and analyse funding allocations by country, topic, and time period. Whether you are a researcher seeking collaboration opportunities, a policy maker tracking investment trends, or an interested citizen looking to stay informed, this tool provides visual insights into the European heritage research landscape.

About the Project
This application is part of the DIGICHer project. The project aims to develop a framework for equitable, diverse, and inclusive practices in digitising minorities' cultural heritage. The project focuses on three representative minority groups in Europe: the Sámi, the Jewish people, and the Ladin people. Through co-creation activities and user-centric approaches, DIGICHer seeks to support the European cultural heritage sector in becoming more digitally adept while promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion.
