(Deadline: 20 February 2025)

IRCI is seeking research institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to cooperate in its new project ‘Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region’ (FY 2024–2026), to conduct case studies with IRCI.

This new project explores the intricate relationship between ICH and climate change by conducting case studies, aiming to develop strategies that safeguard ICH while enhancing community resilience. IRCI calls for case study proposals that assess climate change’s impact on ICH at the community-level and explore methodologies for incorporating ICH into community-based climate actions in the Asia-Pacific region.

To apply, please submit a case study plan by 20 February 2025 to IRCI via email. Selected collaborators will be invited to an online kick-off meeting in March 2025 to present their case study plan and share ideas with other collaborators and experts, and to commence the case studies from April 2025.

For further details, please refer to the Application Guidelines and use the template to complete the case study plan to apply.
