Non-academic placement host: community storytelling and intangible cultural heritage

>Description Research field and career stage: Humanities, History. Social sciences, Anthropology. Social sciences, Ethnic and cultural studies. Professions, Library and museum studies. Career stage: Recognised Researcher R2. Associazione culturale Eutopia is a small R&D NGO based in Marche Region, Italy. We work on cultural heritage, public space and audience participation, and we have been a partner in European cooperation projects continuously since 2021, which means there is always fieldwork running somewhere in our portfolio. We host the non-academic placement of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships, up to six months, as associated partner. The fellowship is hosted by a university; we host the placement and the fieldwork. On timing, so that nobody wastes a week. A placement written into a 2026 proposal falls in 2028 or 2029. We therefore do not offer you a work package, which would be closed by then. We offer a standing capability: a territory we work in, a set of methods that are ours and that we carry from one project to the next, and a live pilot to attach to, which we name in the proposal on the basis of what is running at that time. The projects listed below are evidence of what we can do, not the site of your placement. What we offer. Field access. Municipalities, schools, cultural operators and associations in the Marche region, and partner organisations in the Balkans, Spain and Portugal. These are relationships that outlive individual grants, which is why we can promise
