On Saturday 25th June 2022, another participative activity was organised in the framework of INCULTUM Pilot by the Biocultural Archaeology Laboratory (MEMOLab), coordinated by Professor Dr. José María Martín Civantos, from the Department of Medieval History and CCTTHH of the University of Granada.

We made a water route through the different historical irrigation systems of the municipality of Cogollos de la Vega: the Fardes irrigation ditch, the Moroz irrigation ditch and the Canal irrigation ditch.

During the tour, the 50 visitors who attended the route were able to understand the importance of the historical irrigation systems in shaping the cultural landscapes and settlements, as well as their environmental values. They also learned about water management by the irrigation communities.

Presenting INCULTUM in the biannual conference of IAHR International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), founded in 1935, is a worldwide independent organisation of engineers and water specialists working in fields related to the hydro-environmental sciences and their practical application. Activities range from river and maritime hydraulics to water resources development and eco-hydraulics, through to ice engineering, hydro-informatics and continuing education and training. IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and its application and by doing so it strives to contribute to sustainable development, the optimisation of world water resources management and industrial flow processes. Following the last IAHR Congress held in 2019 in Panama City, Panama under the theme “Water – Connecting the World”, the main theme of the 39th IAHR World Congress was “From Snow to Sea” focusing attention on the importance of considering the integral water cycle to address present and future challenges.

The INCULTUM coordinator prof. José María Civantos moderated a round table on human water relationship, and also and made one of the field visits to the historical irrigation systems of the Sierra Nevada.

Meeting in Lisbon for projects on sustainable cultural tourism

Organized by IMPACTOUR project coordinator prof. João Martins from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the NOVA School of Science and Technology in Lisbon, a friendly meeting took place on 5th July in hybrid format, attended by the representatives of six EU-funded projects all involved with sustainable tourism: next to IMPACTOUR there were INCULTUM, SPOT, TEXTOUR, BE.CULTOUR, and SMARTCULTOUR.

Agenda of the meeting: PDF

Scope of the meeting that follows a similar one held in March 2022 is to progress on the path of collaboration and synergies especially in two areas: policy recommendations for supporting decision makers in cultural, rural and touristic development in Europe; and a coomon line of action to grant sustainability of project’s outcomes and web resources beyond the end of the funding period.

The first part of the meeting was also attended by the project officer Rodrigo Martín Galán, who is aiming to realize a policy roundtable under the aegis of the European Commission, expected to take place in Brussels in Autumn 2022.

About the sister project:


Heritage-led rural regeneration: best practices & participatory processes.

The webinar presents the result of the analysis of the data gathered from 20 Role Models (RM) case studies regarding their successful heritage-led rural regeneration models. For the study and comparison of the narratives of these Role Models two tools were used: the Community Capitals Framework, which studied the transference of capitals in each process and the identification of six Systemic Innovation Areas that allow this capital transference. A multilevel repository of best practices has been developed allowing the identification of common features, mechanisms for mobilisation of capitals and required resources that will facilitate the replication in other rural areas. The results of this work support the acknowledgement of the contribution of culture, together with cultural and natural heritage, to economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability in rural areas reinforcing the role of culture as the fourth pillar of sustainable development.
