The topic of the planned partnership is „The Future of Cultural Heritage in Modern Europe“. The project aims at interconnecting local, regional and national initiatives of collecting and preserving objects of cultural heritage within the partner states to create an overarching European network of teaching and researching on the field. A special focus lies on the tradition of textual sources, comprising manuscript as well as book culture, its medial conditions and and its privotal role for the formation of cultural identities. For this reason, libraries, literary museums and archives such as the Latvian National Library (Riga), the Greek National Library (Athens), the Biblioteca Universitaria (Bologna), the Bibliothèque de Bordeaux (Bordeaux) and the Royal Library (Kopenhagen) are expected to play a key role in the project.

Central activities of the project are international workshops, summerschools and the exchange of researchers and students from the partner universities as well as of experts from the associated cultural institutions.
