On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, the Faculty of Economics of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica became the meeting place for representatives of OZ Terra Montanae and representatives of Matej Bel University. The joint meeting was devoted to several current topics and, in particular, the possibilities of cooperation within the international research project INCULTUM, in which the university is involved.
Representatives of OZ Terra Montanae and Matej Bel University share the same vision of the importance of cultural and historical heritage, in the form of mining, which the territory of Central Slovakia possesses. The aim of the meeting was to exchange information and find an intersection between the activities of the INCULTUM project and the Barbora Route project, which is covered by the OZ Terra Montanae. The representatives of both institutions mainly agreed that the activities of actors in the territory, in connection with the historical and cultural heritage of Central Slovakia, are not coordinated. It is the INCULTUM project and "Mining Treasures" that could become an umbrella platform for communication and cooperation of the activities of entities dealing with the idea of protection, revitalisation and subsequent use of the cultural and historical potential of the territory for the needs of the creation of tourism products and the development of Central Slovakia itself. At the meeting, the representatives of the institutions discussed, among other things, the possibilities of further cooperation, the beginning of which could be the signing of the Memorandum on Cooperation.
