The project “From Land to Earth. Connections for Sustainable Territories”, coordinated by Rebeca Blanco-Rotea (Lab2PT Researcher) was one of the projects selected in the framework of the Call for Proposals for Exploratory Projects IN2PAST 2023/2024.
Following a competitive internal tender, the evaluation panel announced the funding of six exploratory projects. Together with the project based in Lab2PT, the other selected projects were: “HELP. Heritage, Environment, Liberty and People. Archaeology of the Spanish refugee camps in Barrancos, Alentejo”, coordinated by Xurxo Ayán Vila ; “W.Box.Project – A caixa de Ward como objeto pedagógico na divulgação da História da Ciência”, coordinated by Sara Manuela de Albuquerque ; “Coisas de Portugal: Negociações identitárias e usos de cultura material portuguesa num quadro de migrações transnacionais”, coordinated by Maria Filomena de Almeida Paiva Silvano ; “SuitNanoMusic: Suitability of nanomaterials for preservation of tangible musical cultural heritage”, coordinated by Penka Ilieva Girginova ; and “The Materials and Techniques of Jan van Goyen: A Technical Study of Eight Small Paintings”, coordinated by Sara Valadas.
The call aimed at “financial support to collective projects, of exploratory nature, with the purpose of formulating research hypotheses leading to the preparation of future applications for international and national competitive funding” and each selected project included researchers from, at least, three research units of IN2PAST.
The evaluation panel was chaired by the President of the Coordinating Commission of the Scientific Council of IN2PAST Nélia Dias and composed of one representative of each Research Unit in the Coordinating Commission of the Scientific Council of IN2PAST, substituted by appointment when in situations of conflict of interest or justified unavailability: Cidália Ferreira da Silva (Lab2PT), Elisabete Pereira (IHC), Manuel Pedro Ferreira (CESEM), Mariana Pinto dos Santos (IHA), Marta Prista (CRIA), Milene Gil (HERCULES Laboratory) and Rute Sousa Matos (CHAIA).
