The Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia invites you to join the final event of the Data4UA project – “War, Cultural Heritage, and Higher Education”, taking place on April 29 at 11:00 AM on the Zoom platform.

The event will be held in English.

The programme will feature a lecture by Associate Professor Jonathan Westin and Professor Gunnar Almevik from the University of Gothenburg titled: “Saint Sophia’s Inscriptions: Participatory and research grounded approaches to data collection during war.”

Associate Professor Sanita Reinsone from the University of Latvia, also the initiator of the #ScienceForUkraine NGO, will speak about the vital role of international cooperation and active support in protecting Ukraine's cultural heritage, sustaining research, and strengthening professional communities in times of war.

This event marks the conclusion of the project launched at the end of 2023. The Data4UA project aimed to strengthen the capacity of European higher education institutions in responding to cultural heritage emergencies, particularly in Ukraine. The project focused on how universities and society respond to cultural heritage crises, enhancing the knowledge and skills of academic staff and students in heritage protection, and understanding the role of higher education institutions in promoting civic engagement.
