The 2015 DIAnet International School (DIS) was the last of three editions and was held in Gorizia (Italy) in March 2015. The project cycle of the DIAnet schools on sustainable development in the Danube Region has finally concluded with this edition on the “Role of Cultural Heritage”, a thematic issue which has been addressed with an interdisciplinary approach. Ten countries of the Danube region were represented by 39 participants from 16 Universities. During the School, training was ensured through a blend of lectures, excursions and project group work. The Welcome Ceremony opened with the address by the Rector of the University of Trieste, followed by the Deputy-Mayor of Gorizia. These Proceedings include the presentations on “War, colonization and trade in the Danube Basin in the modern era: some sustainability- related issues” by Prof. Marco Dogo, the School Director, and “The Role of Cultural Heritage in the Danube River Basin” by Prof. Verena Winiwarter, the Danube:Future Project Coordinator. Six project ideas were drafted by the School participants with the assistance of two facilitators from the University of Novi Sad, the leading partner. A final evaluation of the event by Prof. Manuela Montagnari, the School Deputy-Director, can be found at the end of this book as well as some final considerations concerning the results and achievements of the three-year project. The DIAnet International School is part of the Capacity Building Module of Danube:Future – A sustainable future for the Danube River Basin as a challenge for interdisciplinary humanities, a Flagship project of EUSDR PA7 – Knowledge Society. Stefano BRUMAT He is the Project Administrator of the Danube:Future project and organizer of the DIAnet International Schools. Since 2009, he works at the University of Trieste where he currently attends to the development and management of EU-financed regional and transnational projects. 2015 P S I international D school proceedings 2015 The role of cultural heritage for the sustainable development of the Danube Region Gorizia 14th-23rd March 2015 Proceedings availables at edited by http://www.openstarts.units.it/dspace/handle/10077/9291 Stefano Brumat In partnership with: Co-financed by: © copyright Edizioni Università di Trieste, Trieste 2015 All rights reserved.

Its aim is to reach people from a wide range of backgrounds of expertise from the Danube Region and to disseminate the good practices. The book follows the structure of the School. The 2015DIS opened on March 14th with the welcome addresses by the Rec- tor of the University of Trieste, prof. Maurizio Fermeglia, the Deputy Mayor of Gorizia, Mr Roberto Sartori, and Mr Federico Portelli from the Province of Gorizia. Several presentations on the EU strategy of the Danube Region and Danube:Future introduced participants to the School and its context. Two short lectures were presented on the same day and are enclosed in these Proceed- ings, i.e. “War, colonization and trade in the Danube basin in the modern era: some sustainability-related issues” by the School Director, Prof. Marco Dogo; “The role of cultural heritage for the sustainable development of the Danube Region” by the Danube:Future Project Coordinator, Prof. Verena Winiwarter. The second half of the edition was devoted to group work: participants were divided in 6 Working Groups. The process and the results of these activities are illustrated in these Proceedings. At the end of the School, groups pre- sented their projects with immediate feedback from the Evaluation Committee. The two facilitators (Dr Mladen Radišić and Ms Helena Hiršenberger) from the University of Novi Sad guided the Group work: a short explanation of their work is also available. A final evaluation of the event by Prof. Manuela Montagnari, the School Depu- ty-Director, can be found at the end of this book as well as some final consid- erations concerning the results and achievements of the three-year project by the Project Administrator of Danube:Future, Mr Stefano Brumat.

While the first two editions in 2013 and 2014 focused on interdisciplinary methods and on the role of natural heritage in the framework of the sustainable development of the Danube region, the 2015 edition will be dedicated to cultural heritage. I am particularly glad to welcome you all here in Gorizia for this event that stresses the international vocation of Gorizia in a European environment. When we talk about cultural heritage and sustainable development, we touch a crucial issue, which is related to several very important topics in today’s world. In other words, the topic is multidisciplinary. The fact that in this School biologists work together with social scientists, physicists and chemists is ex- tremely positive, which is one of the main features of the University of Trieste. I think that for too many years, in Europe, we have developed our higher education by focusing on single disciplines while the big world’s emergencies should be tackled by interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity. I discussed this matter with some other Rectors at the European University Association (EUA) and we all agreed that the right place to tackle multidisci- plinarity is in the third level of higher education, i.e. the PhD level. Multidisci- plinarity would then be able to permeate from the PhD level into the Master and Bachelor levels. Another positive aspect of the DIAnet International School is that it involves a lot of interaction among students and participants. I know from last year’s experience that you will be clustered into small groups and will work on spe- cific projects, an aspect that I find extremely interesting and very challenging. All this work is strongly related with the new EU programme Horizon 2020 and we may say that this edition – just like the previous two – is paving the way 11 to our participation to Horizon 2020 by enhancing collaborations between the universities involved in this project. As soon as you get back to your countries and to your universities, you will promote the connections you’ll have estab- lished here, enhance our collaboration and prepare solid projects to be sent to the European Commission. I am particularly glad to be here on behalf of the University of Trieste be- cause I really want to share with you our willingness to become more and more international, as we have already stated several times in different oc- casions. My collaborators and I have personally worked in setting up some good relationships with all the universities of our neighbour countries: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and many others. We have made a series of official visits and I am sure that – at the end – all this work will produce results in terms of concrete projects that we will be able to submit to the European Union. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. 12 Mr. Roberto Sartori Deputy Mayor of Gorizia This is the third edition of the DIAnet International School, a very important project designed by the University of Trieste in collaboration with other Uni- versities, in particular the University of Novi Sad. Thanks to this project, Gorizia will host for 10 days 40 researchers from the overall Danube Region. They will meet and discuss with important international peers and prominent academics. Participants are welcome in Gorizia, a little town on the open border be- tween Italy and Slovenia, where the Germanic, Latin and Balkanic cultures live together. The result of this combination are its beautiful gardens, squares and boulevards. Gorizia is looking towards the EU Policies. In 2011 a legal entity was found- ed in partnership with the towns of Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter -Vr- tojba: the ECGT GO1. The European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation is a tool designed to overcome the difficulties encountered in implementing and managing projects in the field of territorial cooperation, which are subject to different legislation and procedures, and to facilitate the implementation of common tasks (not only economic).
