CLIC Informed Consent Form

According to European GDPR, we ask you to read and sign this Informed Consent Form before starting the CLIC Survey.

The CLIC Project

The overarching goal of CLIC trans-disciplinary research project is to identify evaluation tools to test, implement, validate and share innovative “circular” financing, business and governance models for systemic adaptive reuse of cultural heritage and landscape, demonstrating the economic, social, environmental convenience, in terms of long lasting economic, cultural and environmental wealth.

The CLIC project identifies innovative financing, business and governance models able to promote and facilitate adaptive reuse of cultural heritage in European cities and cultural landscapes in the perspective of the circular economy. The project aims to attract new sustainable investments for the reuse of abandoned buildings and landscapes, aiming at generating positive social and environmental impacts and at increasing employment through joint public-private-social partnerships.

The CLIC project will be structured in research activities (data collection, analysis of best practices of abandoned cultural heritage/landscape regeneration, elaboration of models) and in an operational phase, including:

(1) stakeholders’ engagement aimed at enhancing their active participation in cultural heritage adaptive reuse processes (meetings, thematic workshops, focus groups);

(2) testing of the proposed models of governance, financing and business.

CLIC represents an opportunity for the cities involved, in terms of improving the ability to manage cultural heritage, attracting investments, creating jobs and attracting / developing skills useful for the valorization and regeneration of cultural heritage/landscape. The CLIC project intends to provide local decision-makers with useful assessment tools to address the complex challenges of managing cultural and landscape assets to transform what is currently a cost to the community, into an opportunity for economic, social and environmental development and cultural promotion of the city.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 776758.
