An exhibition showcased humanistic fabrications and simulations, and the symposium also included presentations and panel discussions with scholars from Sweden, Germany, and England. The conference was formed around the four research clusters of the centre. The main aim was to reach out on a broader networking activity, both to scholars from other universities and to the wider heritage communities of professionals and interested individuals. The conference also contributed to building stronger cross-cutting links between clusters and strengthening internal collaboration. The research and outreach activities are intense and increasing with details in the cluster reports below. The research cluster on Heritage and Wellbeing, the most recent established cluster, found firm ground during 2019. With a focus on Heritage of psychiatry and madness, Minority heritage (including Jewish heritage and refugee heritage) the activity rate has increased. With collaboration with the Heritage Academy, and the establishment of the master course Health as power, practice and cultural heritage, this cluster has gained the same momentum as the other three clusters. Not only the content and depth of our research have been successful, but we can also look back on a year with a lot of research applications, publications and outreach activities. This year we have been part of granted research funding in more than ten applications covering about 15 mkr, and participation in more than 30 different constellations. Publication record is still strong with over 60 publications whereof 38 are peer-reviewed and also noting an impressive number of non traditional research outputs (NTRO) in the list. This fact is something that has to be further noticed, as there still is no possibility or recognizing these in the bibliographic system that we use. Photos from the CCHS Symposium 7-8 November 2019. The Heritage Academy continues its appreciated collaboration between scholars and practitioners. Some core activities have been introduced during the years, with a spring conference and the autumn Heritage Fair. Late 2019 we also made a call for small scale seed money to projects in collaboration between the university and one or more external partners. Already introduced networks like the Food and heritage (#matarv) and the KOM project (art and medicine) continued. Inside the Box is a new activity made in collaboration with the Museum of World Culture. It is a podcast series recorded live at the museum with topics on heritage related to their collection. Every podcast is a moderated discussion between scholars, museum curators and/or artist. So far five podcasts are online, and each event has been visited by 50-90 people. The UCL Centre for Critical Heritage Studies Small Grants Scheme continued in 2019. It invites applications from UCL: Academic, Research and Teaching staff, postdoctoral staff, Honorary Associates and PhD students. Projects that lead to or support collaborative research on critical heritage studies has been supported via the scheme. We have during the year introduced a renewed discussion of cross-cutting activities, through online and physical meetings between London and Gothenburg. Among different proposals is the plan to establish (42) 3 new cross-cutting themes, and to establish a more robust relationship between our research and educational activities. These questions will be addressed more in-depth during the coming year. The small book series on Critical Heritage Studies published by Cambridge University Press Elements Series is now established. After the first startup period, the first publications are now on their way with more than ten manuscripts in the peer-review process. In April our both directors Kristian Kristiansen in Gothenburg and Michael Rowlands in London stepped down from their positions after a prolific period of work. Kristian Kristiansen will continue as vice director succeeded by the new director Ola Wetterberg. In London, at UCL, our new director is Theano Moussouri sided by her vice-director Rodney Harrison. Once more, we want to thank Kristian and Michael for their hard and inspiring leadership.

Photo: Jenny Högström Berntson Organization Partnership model We have a research partnership between UGOT and UCL around shared research themes/cluster and projects, coordinated by a director in each university. A set of researchers from both universities has been identified and committed on the basis of already existing research collaborations between the two universities. A partnership agreement between our two universities has been agreed upon (Research Partnership Agreement UGOT/UCL). CCHS team The research team at UGOT has done basic research not only in Europe but in Asia, Africa and Latin America. From April 2019 Ola Wetterberg is Director, assisted by Kristian Kristiansen. The research team at UCL has done basic research not only in Europe but in Australia, Africa, China, Latin America and the Near East. From april 2019 Theano Moussouri is the new Director at CCHS UCL, assisted by Rodney Harrison. (42) 4 CCHS has two research administrators: at UGOT, Jenny Högström Berntson, and Cécile Brémont at UCL. They assist the leadership and clusters, coordinate common activities and work with CCHS budget, plans, meetings, communication (newsletter, website, Facebook) etc. CCHS team Affiliation CCHS Vice Director CCHS UGOT (from Kristian Kristiansen (KK) Historical studies, UGOT April) & Heritage and Science (HS) Director CCHS UGOT (from April) & Ola Wetterberg (OW) Conservation, UGOT HS Ingrid Martins Holmberg (IMH) Conservation, UGOT Curating the City (CC) Henric Benesch (HB) HDK, UGOT CC Astrid von Rosen (AvR) Cultural sciences, UGOT Embracing the Archive (EA) Mats Malm (MM) LIR, UGOT EA Cecilia Lindhé (CL) LIR/CDH, UGOT EA Jonathan Westin (JW) LIR/CDH, UGOT EA Maria Cavallin Aijmer (MCA) Historical studies, UGOT EA Making Global Heritage Studies Anna Bohlin (AB) Global studies, UGOT (MGHF) Staffan Appelgren (SA) Global studies, UGOT MGHF Håkan Karlsson (HK) Historical studies, UGOT MGHF Elisabeth Punzi (EP) Social work, UGOT Heritage and Wellbeing (HW) Anita Synnestvedt (AS) Historical studies, UGOT Heritage Academy (HA) Förvaltningen för kulturutveckling, Monica Gustafsson (MG) HA VG regionen (former Västarvet) Stavroula Golfomitsou (SG) Conservation, UGOT HS Jenny Högström Berntson (JHB) Historical studies, UGOT CCHS UGOT project coordinator Theano Moussouri (TM) Director UCL (from February) Director CCHS UCL (until Feb 2019) Michael Rowlands (MR) Anthropology, UCL & HS Rodney Harrison (RH) Institute of Archaeology, UCL Vice Director CCHS UCL & MGHF Clare Melhuish (CM) UCL Urban Laboratory CC Dean Sully (DS) Institute of Archaeology, UCL CC Department of Information Studies, Andrew Flinn (AF) EA UCL Honorary Research Associate, Alda Terracciano (AT) Department of Information Studies, EA UCL Julianne Nyhan (JN) Digital Humanities, UCL EA Department of Information Studies, Anna Sexton (AS) EA UCL Department of Information Studies, Jenny Bunn (JB) EA UCL Beverley Butler (BB) Institute of Archaeology, UCL HW EGA Institute for Women’s health, Anne Lanceley (AL) HW UCL Institute of Archaeology, UCL & Matija Strlic (MS) HS Bartlett Cécile Brémont (CB) Institute of Archaeology, UCL CCHS UCL, Research administrator (42) 5 CCHS Board Marie Demker Dean Faculty of Humanities, UGOT (chairperson) Göran Hilmersson Dean Faculty of Science, UGOT Sanne Kofod Olsen Dean Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, UGOT Malin Broberg Dean Faculty of Social Science, UGOT Cornelia Lönnroth Kulturstrateg, City of

And most importantly – you need to balance ambition with realism. We planned realistically for a three-step strategy to raise Critical Heritage Studies at GU to an internationally leading level over a minimum period of 9-10 years. Parallel with this we anchored it internally within the four faculties of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and art. For the "rst two phases each step in the process marked a real progression, and for the planned third we continue this line to reach our primary goal. 2010-2012: Formation phase. Collaboration of four faculties; recruitment of 5 international post-docs to support research environment; reaching out and connecting internally and internationally; organized "rst international conference on Critical Heritage Studies with 500 participants; formation of Association of Critical Heritage Studies based at GU.

Here you can find thousands of roses, carpet beddings and lush woodlands. The palm house from 1878 houses exotic plants in a Mediterranean climate. For 170 years the Garden Society of Gothenburg has been an oasis of greenery in the heart of Gothenburg, a place to relax and be invigorated. Today it is one of the best-preserved nineteenth-century parks in Europe, where rolling lawns, historic buildings and ornamental gardens featuring exotic and indigenous plants take you back to the golden age of horticulture. The sweeping borders and nineteenth-century atmosphere set the tone. In 1992 the Garden Society of Gothenburg became the first park in Sweden to be given listed building status for its cultural heritage. “Palmhuset” at Trädgårdsföreninen GOTHENBURG BOTANICAL GARDEN Here you'll find around 16,000 species of plants in the different greenhouses and areas like the rock garden and herb garden.
