Dear Professor Fabienne (Charlotte) Orazie Vallino,



We are a research group from Norway and are preparing a pre-proposal for the JPI Heritag Plus Joint Call, acted as Project Leader. We received your emails yesterday and found your research interests are very close to ours. We wonder if you would like to join us for this call please? We currently have participants from the UK and (possibly) from the Netherlands as Principal Investigators.



Our draft title is "The notion of values – (Methodological) aspects to approach the narrative in historic parks and gardens/landscapes".



This research addresses the ‘green cultural heritage’. Taking historic parks and gardens as examples, the research aims to discover their full values (including subjective meanings, which have been largely ignored/avoided by current conservation principles) using the methods such as narrative analysis and others. Based on these, we want to set up a methodological outline for better handling the garden cultural heritage.



If you would like to join us, please let us know and we can discuss more about the pre-project contents.



Thank you and look forward to hearing from you,



Lei Gao, on behalf of the research group 'Historic Gardens and Cultural Heritage'
