Nurturing Heritage Science with Novel Bioarchaeological Methods in the Eastern Baltics

PaleoMIX提出了一项跨学科研究方案，以更好地了解文化遗产是欧洲特性的主要定义者之一，并赋予其最大的信息价值和长期保存。古MIX通过汇聚来自东欧、波罗的海和西欧的专家，采用一流的生物考古和计算研究方法，将人文学科和自然科学联系起来，从而对物质遗产进行更可持续的研究。结对活动将国际上公认的研究中心--BioArch(约克大学，联合王国)和GLOBAL研究所：EVO和Eco基因组学部(哥本哈根大学，DK)和人类进化实验室，isTOPIK实验室(布尔果斯大学，ES)--的研究和创新能力整合到塔尔图大学(EE)协调员手中，从而建立了专门的有形遗产研究-创新(R&I)中心。通过紧密合作、移动性和数字基础设施的创建实现的跨学科研究卓越(PaleoMIX O.A.D.)在《波罗的海研究》中，波罗的海第一次展示了人类历史上最重要的文化变革--新自由主义。在双胞胎伙伴的推动下，R&I中心将成为一个自我可持续的海军据点和知识宝库，向区域研究人员和其他利益攸关方传播遗产研究的最佳做法。在更广泛的范围内，PaleoMIX促进人文和自然科学的融合，以解决有关欧洲共同遗产的突出问题。此外，还包括：i)通过广泛的知识生产和在公众中传播知识，促进以知识为基础的社会的可持续性；ii)通过R&I中心提供的新服务加强学术界、商界和其他政府组织之间的联系；iii)为下一代研究遗产的研究人员提供跳板。

PaleoMIX proposes an interdisciplinary research programme to better understand cultural heritage as one of the main definers of European identity and grant its maximum informative value and long-term preservation. PaleoMIX bridges humanities and natural sciences by bringing together experts from the Eastern Baltic and Western Europe to implement top-notch bioarchaeological and computational research methodologiesfor conducting a more sustainable study of tangible heritage. The Twinning exercise consolidatesthe research and innovation capabilities of the internationally acknowledged research centres – BioArCh (University of York, UK) and GLOBE Institute: Evo and Eco Genomics Sections (University of Copenhagen, DK) and Laboratory of Human Evolution, isoTOPIK Lab (University of Burgos, ES) – to the Coordinator, University of Tartu (EE), allowing the establishment of a dedicated Research-Innovation (R&I) Hub on Tangible Heritage Studies. The transdisciplinary research excellence that becomes available through tight cooperation, mobilities and creation of digital infrastructure (PaleoMIX O.A.D.) in the E Baltics is first demonstrated in the Research Pilot about the most important cultural change in human history – Neolithization. With the push from the Twinning partners, the R&I Hub will become a self-sustainable naval point and a pool of knowledge to disseminate the best practices in heritage studies to regional researchers and other stakeholders. On a wider scale, PaleoMIX promotes the integration of humanities and natural sciences to tackle prominent questions about European common heritage. PaleoMIX further i) contributes to the sustainability of the knowledge-based society with its extensive knowledge production and dissemination among the general public, ii) strengthens the links between academia, business and other governmental organisations through novel services offered by the R&I Hub, and iii) acts as a springboard for the next generation researchers in heritage studies.
