HER UKR is an Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Policy Debate project funded by the European Commission. We are looking for a Project Coordinator (Assistant to the Project Leader) for the remaining time of the project (1 March 2025 – 31 December 2026).
The project HER-UKR: Challenges and opportunities for EU heritage diplomacy in Ukraine researches the role of cultural heritage in the EU’s external action. A consortium of 15 universities brings together interdisciplinary expertise on EU foreign policy, Eastern European memory politics and heritage practices. HER-UKR aims to explore the potential of the EU in heritage policies by focusing on three subtopics: 1) EU cultural heritage diplomacy for promoting democracy and European values; 2) conflict prevention with focus on contested heritage; 3) protection and reconstruction of heritage.
