Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Information Day: TESELA drives innovation in culture and heritage
The Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday provided the platform for TESELA Materiales Innovación y Patrimonio to strengthen its position within the European research and innovation ecosystem. The event, focusing on Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society, took place on 27 January at the CSIC’s Casa de la Ciencia Museum in Seville, bringing together numerous organisations interested in European funding opportunities.
TESELA’s participation in the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday highlights its commitment to developing innovative solutions in the field of cultural heritage, as well as its interest in strengthening its presence in European R&D&I projects. Events of this kind are key to understanding the European Union’s strategic priorities and anticipating future calls for proposals.
TESELA and the European HERIT4AGES project
During the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday, TESELA presented its activities, its main areas of work and its experience in international research projects. In this context, it particularly highlighted its involvement in the European HERIT4AGES project.
HERIT4AGES is an initiative aimed at developing new solutions for the conservation, management, digitisation and promotion of cultural heritage. This project forms part of the Built4People initiative under Cluster 5 of Horizon Europe and aims to integrate innovation, sustainability and advanced technology into the field of heritage.
TESELA’s participation in the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday provided an opportunity to highlight its role within HERIT4AGES, as well as to demonstrate its ability to contribute to the development of innovative materials and technical solutions for the preservation of historical heritage.
Funding opportunities under Horizon Europe
Another key aspect of the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday was the presentation of the calls for proposals scheduled for 2026 under this European programme. Horizon Europe is one of the main funding instruments for promoting research, innovation and international collaboration.
In this regard, the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday provided a detailed overview of the opportunities available to organisations working in the fields of culture, creativity and an inclusive society. For TESELA, these calls for proposals represent a strategic opportunity to continue developing innovative projects and expand its participation in European consortia.
Networking and international collaboration
The Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday also stood out for its strong networking component. The participation of the National Contact Points (NCPs) enabled attendees to obtain key information on European funding processes and receive practical advice on preparing competitive proposals.
Furthermore, the event facilitated interaction between organisations, helping to identify strategic partners and foster the creation of future international consortia. TESELA’s participation in the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday has helped to strengthen its network of contacts and explore new opportunities for collaboration on European projects.
Commitment to innovation and heritage
TESELA’s participation in the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday reaffirms its commitment to innovation, sustainability and international cooperation. Its focus on developing advanced solutions for the conservation of cultural heritage is in line with the objectives of Horizon Europe and the current challenges facing society.
At a time when culture and heritage are playing an increasingly important role, the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday stands out as a key event for driving new initiatives and fostering collaboration between organisations at European level.
Thanks to its participation in the Horizon Europe Cluster 2 Infoday, TESELA continues to establish itself as a key player in the field of innovation applied to heritage, contributing to the development of sustainable, efficient solutions that are in line with European policies.
