September the 1st marked the launch of the new
HORIZON EU Project „STECCI“ (STone monument Ensembles and the Climate Change Impact), where the Angewandte is represented
by the Institute of Conservation (IoC, head: Gabriela Krist). The research project's main goal is to understand the impact
of climate change on outdoor stone monuments, particularly on the so-called Stećci (UNESCO World Heritage listed monuments),
as well as to explore innovative and sustainable protection methods.
The first project meeting was held in Sarajevo between the 21st and the 23rd of September 2023, where the
IoC was represented by the staff members Farkas Pintér and Marija Milchin. Apart from the Angewandte, eight other partners
from eight different European countries constitute the project consortium including Heritage Malta (Malta), Institut Mines-Telecom
(France), Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Germany), Zentrum für soziale Innovation (Austria), Umjetnička Akademija, Sveuciliste
u Splitu (Croatia), University of Novi Sad (Serbia), Univerzitet Donja Gorica Podgorica (Montenegro), and Univerzitet u Sarajevu
(Bosnia and Herzegovina), in the role of coordinator of the project.
