Project cooperation – partner / WP contributor in cultural heritage and public space innovation

MONU – Institute of Mosaic and Monumental Art (Czech Republic) is a non-profit platform working at the intersection of cultural heritage, material research, and urban public space.

We focus on the conservation, transfer, and reuse of large-scale 20th-century public artworks, especially mosaics integrated into architecture. Many of these works are currently endangered due to climate impacts and urban transformation.

Our approach combines:

• hands-on restoration practice (including full transfer of artworks),

• applied research in materials and durability,

• integration of heritage into urban regeneration and public space.

Relevance to Horizon Europe Missions

• Climate Adaptation: resilient conservation methods, climate impact assessment

• Climate-Neutral Cities: reuse of artworks in urban transformation

• Cross-cutting: circular economy, social resilience, digital documentation

Project interests

• climate-resilient conservation of public artworks

• circular reuse in urban redevelopment

• pilot projects and demonstrators

• digital mapping and monitoring

• community engagement in public space

What we offer

• real pilot sites and case studies (Central and Eastern Europe)

• expertise in large-scale mosaic conservation and transfer

• link between research and implementation

• contribution to / leadership of heritage-related work packages
