First SENSES Working Groups Announced

Grand basilica interior with long colonnades, ornate ceiling, and a central apse.

The SENSES Action is structured around four thematic Working Groups: SACRED, DINING, FABRIC, and BODY. Each group focuses on a distinct yet interconnected aspect of the multisensory experience within European court residences.

The Working Groups bring together expertise from history, art and architectural history, musicology, archaeology, heritage studies, and digital humanities. Their activities will include conferences, workshops, site visits, and collaborative publications.

Participation in the Working Groups is open to researchers and heritage professionals from COST Member Countries and beyond. Details on how to join are available via the e-COST platform.
