Antarctica is the only place on Earth without a native human population, territorial demarcations or urbanization. As a result of the Antarctic Treaty (1959), research, cooperation and cohabitation of groups of different nationalities became determining factors. Aiming to study the intangible heritage of Antarctica resulting from this particular configuration, Iscte – CVTT and CRIA started the ALIGHT – Antarctic Living Heritage Project this July. The project is funded by the MSCA – PF – Horizon Europe Program and will be in development until the summer of 2026. The project has as participants the Laboratory of Antarctic Studies in Human Sciences (LEACH – UFMG, Brazil), and the Directorate-General for Heritage Cultural of Portugal.
