This work package aims to create a common framework to support the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage, by collecting, analysing and classifying existing successful tools currently implemented to support for adaptive reuse of cultural heritage, revealing and discussing differences and similarities between European countries, territorial scales, cultural heritage typologies, cultural, social and regulatory contexts and environmental conditions.
The second aim is to identify the barriers – e.g. cultural, social, economic, institutional, legal, regulatory and administrative – and distinguish bottlenecks (i.e. what is inefficient) from thresholds (i.e. what is lacking) to support the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage, in the context of multi-level governance, interlinking city, regional, national and EU levels of decision-making.
Tasks break down:
- T1.1 – Systemic knowledge production: best practices selection and analysis (M1 to M12)
- T1.2 – Identify cultural, social, economic, institutional, legal, regulatory and administrative barriers and bottlenecks for adaptive reuse of cultural heritage at city, regional, national and EU level (M1 to M24)
- T1.3 – Project-long assessment and analysis of barriers to implementation (M13 to M36)
[Months: 1-31]
Evaluation and comparison of the impacts of adaptive systemic reuse in the economic, social, environmental and cultural dimension, through the identification of specific criteria and indicators in the perspective of the circular economy.
Create a common framework for the identification of innovative circular financing, business and governance models for cultural heritage systemic adaptive reuse.
Tasks break down:
- T2.1 – Methods and tools for the assessment of the spillover effects of cultural heritage adaptive reuse on local economy (M1 to M24)
- T2.2 – Methods and tools for the assessment of the social and cultural impacts of cultural heritage adaptive reuse (M1 to M24)
- T2.3 – Methods and tools for the assessment of the environmental impacts of cultural heritage adaptive reuse (M1 to M24)
- T2.4 – Development of the CLIC multidimensional impact indicator set for the assessment of adaptive reuse circular models (M1 to M30)
[Months: 1-24]
Building on previous sectorial research, the CLIC Decision Support System (DSS) will integrate into a systemic tool a set of specific planning, design, economic and multicriteria analysis tools able to support decision-makers in adaptive reuse management choices and design choices.
The CLIC DSS will support decision-makers in identifying the most effective mix of functions for adaptive reuse design considering estimated costs, technological/cultural constraints, estimated cash flows of each function, spatial localization and other influencing factors.
The WP aims to co-design and disseminate a portfolio of governance models to cultural heritage in Europe based on cooperation, social-public-private partnerships/agreements, legal frameworks for “commons” management, (re) designing and experimenting with existing and new approaches.
The underlying research question is: how do/may innovative financing and governance approaches contribute to the maintenance of the historic fabric and its integration in the modern world and how can such approaches be improved and applied across Europe?
Circular governance arrangements will be designed in this WP adopting social innovation and the principles of inclusiveness, transparency (through evidence-based decision-making), mutuality, reciprocity and cooperation for shared management of heritage commons.
Tasks break down:
- T3.1 – Design and development of the CLIC Decision Support System (M1 to M24)
- T3.2 – Participative governance arrangements for shared management of heritage commons (M1 to M24)
- T3.3 – Innovative management of information: development of the CLIC Knowledge and Information Hub for integration and smart visualization of sectorial databases (M1 to M24)
[Months: 1-24]
The aim of WP 4 is to identify the parameters and toolbox in order to specify feasible financial products that support impact investment and circular economics in the adaptation of cultural heritage assets.
Tasks break down:
T4.1 – Financing instruments for cultural heritage adaptive reuse. Development of the CLIC financial analysis tool (M1 to M24)
T4.2 – Development of circular business models and test of robustness (M1 to M24)
[Months: 1-36]
Test the innovative potential of the proposed adaptive reuse blueprints for culturally, socially and economically inclusive societies in selected cities across Europe, representative of cultural heritage groups/typologies and different local administrative, economic, environmental, social and cultural contexts.
Implement and validate the innovative financing, business and governance models developed during the previous stages through direct involvement of end-users (policy-makers, social entrepreneurs and investors, community foundations and associations).
Identify and test effective strategies for leveraging investments in cultural heritage adaptive reuse.
Tasks break down:
T5.1 – Assessment of Heritage Commons in pilot cities (M9 to M24)
T5.2 – Setting Heritage Innovation Partnerships (HIPs) (M1 to M36)
T5.3 – Strategies for mobilizing new investments (M13 to M36)
[Months: 1-36]
The overall objective is to communicate, disseminate and exploit the project’s findings and promote the results on a national and European level. The aim is to implement a series of communication and dissemination activities involving heritage cities/landscapes across Europe to transfer the models and approaches developed. Organize a European startup competition open to actors of the third sector aimed at the selection of 5 best innovative ideas that will access mentoring and coaching support to enhance skills and stimulate the creation of new jobs in cultural heritage adaptive reuse.
Tasks break down:
T6.1 – Coordination with other related projects and initiatives (M1 to M36)
T6.2 – Communication, dissemination and exploitation strategy preparation (M1 to M36)
T6.3 – Implementation of communication and dissemination activities envisaged (M1 to M36)
T6.4 – Startup creative and innovative initiatives competition (M23 to M30)
T6.5 – Mentorship activities for Startup creative and innovative initiatives competition (M23 to M30)
T6.6 – Maximisation of communication and dissemination activities (M1 to M36)
T6.7 – Preparation of further exploitation of project results and Education, training and continuous professional development (M1 to M36)

The aim of this WP is to assure that the project will meet its entire objectives on time, on budget and with high quality results. The project management complies with the following principles:
- creating an integrated project structure incorporating partner coordination as well as issues of commonplace business operation;
- reaching an agreement of all partners and guaranteeing a harmonized decision-making procedures.
The project management will also ensure that crucial horizontal principles will be respected along all the WPs, including sustainable development, equal opportunity and non-discrimination, equality between men and women, and environment protection. High importance is given to the risk and quality management.
Tasks break down:
T7.1 – Project organization and planning (M1 to M36)
T7.2 – Risk management (M1 to M36)
T7.3 – Monitoring and evaluation (M1 to M36)
T7.4 – Reporting to the EC (M1 to M36)
