Migrating heritage, digital cultural networks and social inclusion in Europe

This paper describes ongoing research on cultural networks within the EU-funded FP7 SSH project European Museums in an Age of Migration (MeLa, www.mela-project.eu). Among the research themes addressed, the focus here is in particular on the new proposed concept of migrating heritage, viewed against the backdrop of politics and policies of a common European culture, the conceptual framework of cultural heritage, cultural networking and digital technologies. Analysis of relevant literature is provided, together with selected case studies.
