E-RIHS in EU landscape
In 2016 E-RIHS entered the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap as the unique project in the field of social and cultural innovation. European heritage science is globally leading, and is supported by innovative research techniques that require complementary skills and knowledge from a range of disciplines.
In this context, E-RIHS connects researchers and delivers innovation in heritage science by interfacing humanities research with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), as well as information and communications technologies (ICT).
Its trans-disciplinary innovative approach meets the new challenges of the European Research Area (ERA). E-RIHS represents an advanced community that has been systematically developing since 1999 and it is based on the preliminary work done in the framework of the past EU projects.
E-RIHS fosters the culture of cooperation to enable growth of the ERA, by building collaborations with other projects, initiatives and research infrastructures.
Further developments are planned for connecting and including partners and facilities outside the EU, and gradually reaching the status of a global distributed Research Infrastructure (see international collaborations).

JPI-CH
Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage
The main objective of JPI on Cultural Heritage addresses the strong relationships that link cultural heritage, conservation, technological innovation and economic development within the dynamic framework of the challenges and competitiveness in an enlarged European Union and its efforts are striving to generate an in-depth, shared understanding of issues with the view of providing an improved knowledge base for policies in the fields concerned most important aspects as migration and integration, quality of life and global interdependence. A concerted research action allows Member States to maximize and exploit at best their research efforts.

SSHOC
Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC)
Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) is a project funded by the EU framework programme Horizon 2020 and unites 20 partner organisations and their 27 associates in developing the social sciences and humanities area of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). SSHOC transforms the current social sciences & humanities data landscape with its disciplinary silos and separate facilities into an integrated, cloud-based network of interconnected data infrastructures. To promote synergies and open science initiatives between disciplines, and accelerate interdisciplinary research and collaboration, these data infrastructures will be supported by the tools and training which allow scholars and researchers to access, process, analyse, enrich and compare data across the boundaries of individual repositories or institutions.
