The project Community Archaeological in Rural Environments – Meeting Social Challenges (CARE MSoC) is a joint project initiative (JPI) funded by four national research councils through the European Commission to build capacity in the heritage sector to help rural communities in a changing world.
The CARE project spans four European countries, twelve rural communities and hundreds of members of the public, all carrying out the same investigations within their own communities.
