RECHARGE is a Horizon Europe Project ( 101061233 – GAP-101061233) to conceive, pilot and analyse new participatory business models for the cultural heritage sector in a Living Lab. The Hunt Museum is managing the central work package that sets up Cultural Heritage Living Labs across Europe to test several different models. In the first instance we are looking to create a participatory business model based on Corporate Social Responsibility activity with the Irish Museums Association and local communities.
We are therefore looking for a company who has ready access to corporations, with social responsibility budgets, who might be interested in working with communities on projects relevant to the museum sector. The successful bidder will be able to bring at least 8 Irish or International companies based in Ireland to the table for an initial workshop with the Irish Museum sector. They will then work with 2 or 3 of the corporates to create a Living Lab with the Hunt Museum and develop a participatory business model. Documenting the process and measuring impact with the help of Erasmus University, Rotterdam and Cyfrowe Centrum, Warsaw will be required, as the final outcome is to be a playbook that allows replication of the process. After the first Living Labs are created a further six will be funded and the winning bidder is expected to mentor any that choose the Corporate Social Responsibility Business Model.
