Location:
The CHC unit is located at the Department of Geography & Geology, Faculty of Natural Sciences (NAWI), University of Salzburg. Show plan
Funding:
Currently CHC is financed exclusively by 3rd party project funding. In the medium term, a stand-alone base funding is a goal. This will provide sustainable operations and makes it possible to keep web resources up-to-date.
Having adequate financing will also enable CHC to work on non-funded projects (e.g. scientific databases, open data projects, etc).
Funding structure:
- Seed funding, granted by the principal of the University of Salzburg, Univ-Prof. Dr. Heinrich Schmidinger (Autumn 2005)
- Project funding by the European Union / initiation of and participation in European projects (e.g. HISTORIC QUARRIES / FRONTIERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE)
- National scientific project funding (e.g. FWF project FACEM)
- Private project funding (OMYA)
- Creation of Information Systems for public/scientific institutions (e.g. AIS-OOE / MAIN LIMES MUSEUMS)
