Abstract

10.2 Summary in English for general dissemination purposes CIDEHUS investigates societal changes in the South of Portugal, Southern Europe, Mediterranean region and other areas historically connected to Iberian countries, in the long term, as well as their cultural heritage features. CIDEHUS embodies a multidisciplinary approach, and adopts territories, process analysis, and the categories inclusion/exclusion as observation axes. Articulating eight facets, the plan of activities aims at fulfilling the Unit’s goals, promoting its development at the international level, without forgetting the country and the region where it is located. 1. RESEARCH: The core activity consists in conducting quality research on the main topic of the strategic program. Research groups carry out their respective anchor projects, centered in societal changes in the South (G1) and in the varied marks (material and intangible) of those changes (G2). Apart from the ongoing activities, CIDEHUS will apply new projects to European, national and regional calls. 2. ADVANCED STUDIES: CIDEHUS will focus on: 1) strengthening the connection between advanced studies cycles and research; 2) carrying out interinstitutional, interdisciplinary and international graduated courses; 3) creating opportunities for Master and PhD students (scholarships for assignments abroad; acquisition of bibliographical resources; shared information on scholarships/job opportunities). 3. DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS: Annual organisation, in Portugal or abroad, of one or two big conferences with major international impact. Besides conferences, workshops and conference cycles, CIDEHUS will give continuity to permanent seminars and will support international missions of its researchers. 4. TRANSFER: Highlights: the extension of the Social Innovation Experiences of the UNESCO Chair; support to the two existing laboratories (Demography and Tourism), and the maximization of CIDEHUSDigital as means of sharing knowledge in several areas. 5. NETWORKS AND INTER-INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION: Faithful to the Center’s mission, inter-institutional cooperation will be a must. CIDEHUS will create a network of former CIDEHUS members who are currently conducting research in other countries. 6. EDITIONS: The Center will launch an annual call for papers open to non-CIDEHUS members. It will also prepare the entrance of Hamsa in the OpenEdition (2018-2019) and its indexation in reference bibliographical bases. Furthermore, a collection of pedagogic material online will be created. 7. OUTREACH ACTIVITIES& COMMUNICATION: Organization of free courses, production of video documentaries and MOOCs; rehearsal of collaborative experiences (recalling memories) with populations of several locations and the consolidation of CIDEHUS’ mark in Science communication. 8. DIGITAL CURATORSHIP: CIDEHUS will continue to permanently update its digital repositories, assuring data quality to foment its reuse and taking care of the long-term preservation. 10.3 Summary in English for evaluation Articulating 8 facets,this plan of activities aims at fulfilling CIDEHUS’s goals, and promoting its development in international context, without forgetting the region and the country where it is located. 1.RESEARCH: - To advance quality research about the program’s main topic, through anchor projects in each Group: G1 - production of 4 e-books about societal changes in the South (10th-20th centuries); G2 - digital products and content publication for different audiences, including 2 e-books specialised in historical-heritage landscapes of the South. - To apply for new projects (European, national, regional) and to develop the approved or ongoing research projects: Resistance; Creatour; DB Heritage,etc. To stimulate young PhDs to apply for projects and integrate other projects’ teams. - To develop inside training -(IN)Formation Days -, keeping the team updated; to stimulate creativity and interdisciplinary dialogue to foster innovation. 2.ADVANCED STUDIES: - To reinforce the connection between research/advanced studies and 1st cycle degrees, through internships of undergraduate students in projects and at CIDEHUS; to organize shared methodologies’ workshops, for all cycles; in Masters/PhD courses, organization of modules by post-docs, in their work fields; to support national and international meetings for young researchers. - To open annually a call for international scholarships (missions/internships of short duration) for Masters and PhD students, belonging to CIDEHUS. - To favour the doctoral students and the needs of the strategic program in the acquisition of bibliography. - To organize seminars for thesis projects’ discussion and work’s progression monitoring. - To open calls for PhD scholarships, privileging projects that develop and deepen the program of the Center. - To organize summer/winter schools, in partnership with other institutions. 3.DISSEMINATING RESEARCH RESULTS: - To support and/or organize 1 or 2 major international conferences per year, in Portugal or abroad, associating the Center to outstanding events (e.g. Patrimonial Libraries and Digital Humanities, Gulbenkian-Paris/Université Paris III/CIDEHUS, 2018 or 2019; Societal Changes and the History of the Southern Europe I - 2019 and II - 2021). - To maintain and develop permanent seminars.
