The Project aims to create an Observatory of places of memory in the Euro-Mediterranean area (inventory, typology, specificities of maintenance and evolution with exchange of practices). A research focus will include the place of justice in these high sites (exhibitions, speeches, specialized establishments such as the Nuremberg Tribunal). The establishing of the Observatory is not only meant to aid PhD students from relevant fields in their work, but also present a palpable and meaningful contribution to societal dialogue and quest for reconciliation in post-conflict societies.
This project is made possible through seed funding from the EUPeace Fund, an initial incentive launched to cultivate and develop interest across EUPeace communities in our network; by providing a first format for collaboration, the Fund equips participating researchers, educators, students and administrators with a practical tool for experimentation and active participation, employing a bottom-up approach that generates concrete information on the interests and needs of our communities and informs future collaborative initiatives.
