Summary: The IDEUM project proposes a fundamental study of the history of Latvia, identity of Latvians and ethnic minorities that will be carried out on the basis of an interdisciplinary research environment in the humanities (environmental, digital, and arts) and citizen science, thus developing fundamentally and applied innovative solutions. Thereby, in accordance with the overarching aim of the programme which is to establish an inclusive Latvian and European knowledge society in Latvia, based on democratic values, the Latvian language and culture, the IDEUM will be implemented in three different ways:
- fundamentally by developing innovative, cross-disciplinary research, outreach and collaboration with academia in Latvia and respective international organizations;
- collaboratively by focusing on the citizen science and the involvement of society in collaborative online activities and interacting with humanities data;
- educationally by integrating the knowledge and project results into the Latvian higher education (study programmes and courses will be developed or improved, as well as master and doctoral thesis elaborated).
