CHePiCC Summer School

101 CONCLUSIONS The concept of the CHePiCC Summer School and its Outputs focuses on built cultural heritage as integral part of cultural landscapes and vice versa, both seriously affected by climate change and related natural catastrophes. Climate change itself is the connecting element and affects both cultural landscapes and cultural heritage. The concept for the summer university is applicable to any cultural landscape and its built heritage in Europe. It functions as important medium to gather practical experiences and get to know the respective built heritage and cultural landscapes on-site. HE students were given the chance to learn about applicable maintenance, preparedness and preservation measures by developing tailored measures for a given site and by implementing and actually testing their ideas. The concept focuses on the effects of climate change in a certain climate zone, and develops possibilities to teach sustainable, eco-friendly and cost-efficient preparedness measures for built cultural heritage and maintenance measures for cultural landscapes. The whole concept is hybrid, student-centred, following a strict hands-on approach and is research based. The project has brought significant contribution in terms of INNOVATION as it transferred the transdisciplinary approach to cultural heritage protection in climate change that is already well-established in research projects (purely academic basic research to applied and practical research in combination with different stakeholders) to the higher education level. In addition, it brought formats contemplated in research projects on cultural heritage protection and climate change into higher education, and it was developed as hybrid version of a summer school, tackling the challenges of bringing highly interactive and hands-on approaches to remote participants. Moreover, the CHePiCC school has given HE learners the possibility to join not only lessons but even on-the-field visits and self-learning moments that stimulated the discussion on the topics of concern. The project has brought significant contribution in terms of IMPACT has the CHePiCC School has been attended by people (both learners and teachers) from all over the world. In addition, stakeholders on local, regional and national levels were included in order to underline the complementarity of this project to high-level research projects on cultural heritage, climate change, cultural landscapes and cultural heritage protection carried out by the partners in the project consortium. The target groups learned a transdisciplinary approach which is essential when dealing with aspects the subject in question. They can take this approach with them, establish it at their (future) working place or in their (future) research groups and therefore contribute to a professional behavioral change and further development within their own field. An additional value for the project participants is that peer-learning possibilities were enhanced. The participants were enabled to build a high capacity in climate
