HERIWELL – Cultural Heritage as a Source of Societal Well-being in European Regions

The importance of cultural heritage (CH) in fostering social and economic progress is increasingly acknowledged. However, how to measure the impacts of cultural heritage on individual and societal well being remains a challenge. There is still the need for structuring a comprehensive methodological framework for the assessment of the role of CH in society. The HERIWELL project aims to fill in this gap by providing a detailed picture of the contribution of cultural heritage to various aspects of our lives and societies, as well as a structured conceptual framework and a multimethod assessment design. There is also attention to contested and neglected heritage and the Covid-19 effects on delivering and accessing CH resources.
