Project

Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe:

Towards an European Index for Valuing Cultural Heritage

Aim of the project:

Background

Europe's cultural heritage - built and natural - has a hugevalue for Europe's economy, society and environment. To this end there is aneedto develop an EU strategy for cultural and natural heritage - a strategy thatvalues heritage as a crucial asset and resource. Such a strategy should befully integrated within the EU-s key economic priorities as set out in theoverall EU strategy for 2020. It should also enable heritage-s contribution tothe EU agendas on sustainability, creative Europe, research and innovation, climatechange, energy saving, regional and rural development and territorial cohesion.

The European Heritage Alliance 3.3 - a policy groupingcomposed of 29 European or international networks active in the field ofcultural heritage - has identified a lack of comprehensive and readilyavailable evidence on the benefits of cultural heritage at the European level. Asolid basis of evidence-based research is key to developing effective policiesthat integrate and make full use of the untapped potential of our culturalheritage, in the spirit of the Faro Convention on the Value of CulturalHeritage for Society adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe in2005 (conventions.coe.int/Treaty/EN/Treaties/Html/199.htm).

There exist many case studies, European projects, andnational, regional and local research documents covering demonstrating themultiple benefits of cultural heritage in different parts of Europe. Inaddition, many organisations active in the heritage field have anecdotal casestudy evidence of ways in which different aspects of cultural heritage deliversocial and economic benefits.

What appears to be lacking however is a readily accessibleand comprehensible overview of the value and relevance of heritage at theEuropean level which would form a credible basis for policy development that isstatistically valid and reflects all aspects of the subject.

Concept

Through the project -Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe-thegrouping of six partners (Europa Nostra, ENCATC, Heritage Europe EuropeanAssociation of Historic Towns and Regions, the International Cultural Centre inCracow, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation and theHeritage Alliance UK) propose to gather, analyse, compare and consolidate theexisting data relating to the impact (direct and indirect) of cultural heritageeon society and the economy. In this way the project will result in an Europeanmapping of the evidence-based research already carried out at the national,regional, local and/or sectoral levels. It aims to present conclusive andpersuasive arguments for convincing policy- and decision-makers of the impact andmultiple benefits of investing in heritage.

Whilst fully recognising the diversity and complexity of theheritage field, the study which is the subject of this Call for Proposals willfocus on the various aspects of immoveable cultural heritage, namely historicmonuments, sites and cultural landscapes.

In a first stage, the different methodologies and indicatorsdeveloped by various organisations for assessing heritage and its impact willbe described and analysed. Amongst these will be the methodology specificallyfocused on heritage in Heritage Counts-, the annual survey of the state ofEngland-s historic environment prepared on behalf of the Historic EnvironmentForum (of which the proposed project-s associated partner, the HeritageAlliance is a leading member). A number of organisations in the wider field ofculture, arts and development have also made significant headway in developingindicators, many of which could also be applied to the heritage field. Amongstthe studies, methodologies and indicators to be analysed will be those of thevery recent World Bank Report on -The Economics of Uniqueness: Investing inHistoric City Cores and Cultural Heritage Assets for Sustainable Development-,the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) -Cultural Heritage and Global Change: anew challenge for Europe-,UNESCO-s Culture for Development Indicator Suite, theUrban Forum-s Arts and Culture Indicators Project (ACIP) and Cultural Vitality,as well as the Dutch Cultuurindex and the American Arts Index.

In a second stage, quantitative and qualitative data as wellas case-studies - as for example laureates of various conservation AwardsSchemes such as the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage/Europa Nostra Awards - willbe presented and analysed in order to clearly demonstrate the value of heritageand the benefits of investing in heritage. The dangers of reducing heritage toa series of indicators or solely quantitative data will also be discussed.

In the concluding stage, gaps in information will beidentified, and recommendations will be made for policies, future research and(new) indicators and methodologies that can be developed and applied throughoutEurope.

Recommendations on how data collection can be managed intothe future will also be identified so that trends can be established,indicators updated annually, and change can be measured over time.Recommendations will also be made on the means for making the collected dataand best practices widely accessible to heritage stakeholders in view ofassisting them in advocating for heritage to policy-makers at local, national,regional or European level.

Due to the still unsatisfactory state of research on the impactof heritage and its role in the field of various disciplines in Central Europe,a part of the project will focus on this particular region, much different inthis respect from Western Europe. For all of Central Europe the year 1989 was aturning point meaning freedom of cultural activities and artistic creation,transparency in financing culture, the end of censorship and opportunities toestablish unhindered international cooperation. It is surely one of the mostemblematic dates in history. It marked the period of transition when fullydemocratic countries and societies were being built. Also culture as animportant element of civil societies was incorporated in the process ofadapting to free market economy. The differences in approaches to cultural heritageappreciation and protection between Western and Central Europe are rooted indifferent historical experience. The International Cultural Centre in Krakow asan expert and research institute specialising in cultural heritage in CentralEurope and a leader of international dispute on the meaning and philosophy ofheritage in the region is especially predestined to conduct the projectspecialising in this particular region.

Objectives of the action

Overall objective:

To gather and analyse data and raise awareness on the valueof the built cultural heritage for society and the economy.

Specific objectives:

To raise the profile and understanding of the importance of cultural heritage for society and the economy;

To foster communication and partnership between professionals at all levels, including local, national and European authorities and municipalities, educational institutions and heritage organisations;

To create a comprehensive and readily accessible set ofd ata on the multiple benefits of cultural heritage that will provide the arguments to convince policy-makers of the need to develop a true EU strategy for cultural heritage;

To identify gaps in information and areas of possible future research.

To develop recommendations on how data collection can be managed into the future so that trends can be established, indicators update dannually, and change can be measured over time.

To develop a series of policy recommendations for tappinginto the full potential of cultural heritage.

Research Focus

The proposed study seeks to bring clear evidence of the multiple benefits with which heritage contributes:

to the quality of life and the sense of identity andbelonging of Europe's citizens;

to the job creation and sustainable and smart growth of Europe's economy;

to the beauty, harmony and sustainable future of Europe' s living environment, both in cities and in the countryside.

The Institute of Astronomy (IoA) of KULeuven is a young and vibrant research team of some 50 scientists, engineers and administrative staff. Its research topics are in the areas of stellar physics, evolution of single and binary stars, asteroseismology, variable stars, nucleosynthesis, astrochemistry, and exoplanets. The instrumentation team of IoA is involved in the development and maintainance of various ground-based and space-based projects and facilities, such as the Mercator telescope at La Palma, E-ELT, CoRoT, Herschel, Kepler, Gaia, JWST, EChO, PLATO, etc. IoA offers extensive computational resources as well as access to the Flemish supercomputer facilities.

Project

The project concerns the analysis and interpretation of Kepler space-based photometry and ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy of a sample of 70 main-sequence pulsators of Gamma Doradus type which are the targets of an approved Kepler Guest Observer programme for which the necessary Kepler data have been gathered. Concretely, the student will get familiar with the assembled Kepler data and will help complete the spectroscopy of the sample, develop and apply analysis tools to derive important diagnostics from the data with the aim to confront them with those deduced from theoretical models, perform detailed seismic modelling of the stars individually and of the sample as a whole.

In addition to the research task, the PhD students must also register and comply with the requirements of the Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School (ADS). This implies a teaching assistance task in physics of maximum 4 hours per week, as well as at least one observing run per year at the Mercator telescope at La Palma to contribute to the long-term monitoring programmes of IoA. Application to the vacancy implies an implicit commitment to these tasks.

The PhD supervisors are Professor Dr. Conny Aerts and Dr. Andrew Tkachenko. Further inquiries about the PhD position can be addressed to conny.aerts@ster.kuleuven.be

Profile

With this vacancy, we are searching an excellent and motivated PhD student with a master diploma in astrophysics, physics, mathematics or engineering.

Offer

The initial contract is for one year and, following standard practice at
KULeuven, shall be prolonged annually after positive evaluations; a total term
of four years is foreseen. The starting date is 1 September 2013. The net
monthly salary is according to the governmental regulations and depends on the
applicant's work experience but is not less than 1800 Euro for applicants that
receive approval from the ADS to start a PhD at KULeuven.

Interested?

SCD is a division of the department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) of the Faculty of Engineering of the KU Leuven. SCD's major research objective is to design and build advanced methods for crucial problems in information processing. It builds on the enormous growth in computer power, communication bandwidth and available data and the various needs in society for effective use of these opportunities. SCD has a number of mutually reinforcing groups that build expertise from the more conceptual and mathematical level downstream until the validation with our partners in practical applications in the field. A major driving force of the research is the diverse use of generic information processing methods based on applied mathematics like linear and multilinear algebra, statistics, discrete mathematics, differential geometry, and optimization. SCD has built up world recognized expertise in bioinformatics, biomedical data processing, signal (audio, communications) processing, cryptography, embedded systems, data mining, neural networks, identification, control, ...

Project

This vacant position is opened in the frame of an FP7/FET project on Heterogeneous Ad-hoc Networks for Distributed, Cooperative, and Adaptive Multimedia Signal Processing ('HANDiCAMS'). The project is aimed at developing a new ICT paradigm, which considers multiple heterogeneous devices that cooperate in multiple signal processing tasks.

The research involves algorithm design for speech enhancement in wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs). A WASN consists of a set of nodes which are all equipped with a microphone array, as well as facilities for local signal processing and wireless communications. The nodes in the WASN then cooperate to enhance their respective microphone signals based on in-network signal fusion using signals from other nodes. The research will mainly focus on distributed speech enhancement algorithms for heterogeneous WASNs, as well as distributed network topology inference and selection.

Profile

Candidates must hold a Masters degree in Engineering (or equivalent). Experience and education in signal processing theory, speech processing and other related areas, as well as Matlab programming skills, are recommended. Excellent proficiency in the English language is also required.

Offer

This job opening covers a full-time research position of at least 3 years in the frame of a doctoral program (resulting in a PhD degree awarded by KU Leuven). The research work will be carried out at KU Leuven, Belgium (Supervisors: Dr. Alexander Bertrand and Prof. Marc Moonen).

The ESAT-MICAS division of the University of Leuven has a long standing tradition in integrated circuit research. These activities started back in 1972 and have been expanding ever since. The group consists currently of 6 full time academic staff members, ca. 10 technical and administrative support persons and more than 50 PhD researchers. The research domain covers a wide range of topics in integrated circuit design. MEMs, analog, RF, mm-wave, mixed mode, digital circuits are all studied by different MICAS researchers or research teams. ESAT-MICAS always supports its design results which physical proof of concepts. Numerous chip and pcb designs are conceived, realized and tested in every project that is tackled. For this, we use state of the art chip and pcb technology. The most advanced technology used in our IC designs currently has a minimum feature size of 28 nm.

Project

In this research EMI friendly digital circuits will be conceived, designed, processed and tested. The research will start with a focus on EMI friendly, yet high speed and power efficient, digital output drivers. In a second phase EMI friendly low drop voltage regulators will be addressed. In this way the proposed PhD research is tackling the EME issues that are the consequence of advanced CMOS scaling. Always increasing current peaks will generate unacceptable radiation levels of the digital systems if they are not taken care of during the design. The research will be carried out in close cooperation with the industrial partners of ESAT-MICAS.

Profile

The candidate should hold a master degree in electrical engineering
The candidate should be willing to come toLeuven for an interview
Experience in circuit design is preferable

Offer

We offer a 1 year scholarship for PhD research that can be extended to 4 years to come to a complete PhD. Candidates might have to pass a predoctoral exam depending on their antecedents.

In this research we will conceive, design, process and test highly efficient, yet flexible RF transmitter systems. These will be based on high speed, continuous time digital modulator that drives a switched mode RF power amplifier. Co-design of these two components will bring the necessary combination of efficiency and flexibility, linearity. This will enable highly integrated, yet efficient, solutions for future wireless applications. A major challenge with switched PA systems is the fulfillment of out of band spectral mask requirements. This research will be carried out in cooperation with the industrial partners of ESAT-MICAS.

The PhD project fits into the KU Leuven Knowledge Platform M2Form on 'Software for Multi-scale Simulations of Material Forming Processes', a collaborative effort of the Departments of Computer Science and of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The Knowledge Platform aims at creating and providing expertise on multi-scale computational models to industry, in the form of a software solution.
The research group Scientific Computing (Dept. of Computer Science) focuses on the development of numerical methods, algorithms and software for large-scale simulation in science and engineering. Important topics are numerical methods for multi-scale simulation and high performance computing.

Project

The KU Leuven Knowledge Platform M2Form has developed a hierarchical multi-scale model that allows for adaptive, local and on-demand updating of constitutive material models in metal forming operations. The modelling involves predicting the evolution of crystallographic texture and the associated plastic anisotropy, which is done by employing physics-based crystal plasticity codes. Such models are needed by industry to improve virtual designs of new materials, products and processes. We will pursue further model developments, software engineering and experimental validations to increase the functionality of the multiscale modelling tools. The developments will be partly driven by the needs of material producing and forming companies. To address computational feasibility of the model, the software will increasingly use high performance computing techniques and efficient numerical algorithms. We also intend to generalise and extend this multiscale modelling framework by coupling models of other physical phenomena that are relevant in industrial cases. The final goal of the KP is to deliver a software solution that will couple the multi-scale materials models with industrially relevant finite element analysis software packages.
The aim of the PhD project is to further develop hierarchical multiscale modelling software for the simulation of metal forming processes. Within the existing software framework, new numerical multiscale methods will be developed.

Profile

You should have an MSc degree in one of the following majors: applied mathematics, computer science,materials science, engineering or physics. He or she should have a background in one or more of the following areas: high performance scientific computing, computational mechanics.

You should be interested in working in a multi-disciplinary research team.

Good knowledge of the English language, both spoken and written, is essential.

You will contribute to the optimization of the software for parallel execution on clusters of multicore processors. You will be able to make use of the HPC research facilities of the KU Leuven and the Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC).

Offer

We offer a fax-free PhD grant to work in an interdisciplinary environment.
