Nurturing Heritage Science with Novel Bioarchaeological Methods in the Eastern Baltics

PaleoMIX提出了一个跨学科的研究计划，以更好地了解文化遗产作为欧洲身份的主要定义之一，并赋予其最大的信息价值和长期保护。PaleoMIX通过汇集来自波罗的海东部和西欧的专家，将人文科学和自然科学联系在一起，实施一流的生物考古和计算研究方法，对物质遗产进行更可持续的研究。结对活动巩固了国际公认的研究中心的研究和创新能力-BioArchh（英国约克大学）和地球仪研究所：Evo和Eco基因组学部分（丹麦哥本哈根大学）和人类进化实验室，isoTOPIK实验室致塔尔图大学协调员，允许建立一个专门的研究创新（R&I）中心，对文物研究。通过紧密合作，移动性和数字基础设施的创建（PaleoMIX O. A.D.）在波罗的海国家的研究中，首次展示了人类历史上最重要的文化变革--新石器化。在结对伙伴的推动下，研究与创新中心将成为一个自我维持的海军基地和知识库，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促进人文科学和自然科学的融合，以解决有关欧洲共同遗产的突出问题。PaleoMIX进一步i）通过其广泛的知识生产和在公众中的传播，为知识型社会的可持续发展做出贡献，ii）通过R&I Hub提供的新颖服务加强学术界，企业和其他政府组织之间的联系，iii）作为下一代遗产研究人员的跳板。

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.
