UNROLL will establish the first pan-European, interdisciplinary network dedicated to the historical study and public valorisation of school wall maps (19th–20th century) — the large-format maps once hung in classrooms and public offices that shaped how generations
of Europeans imagined nations, borders and the wider world.</div>

The network brings together historians, geographers, conservation scientists, digital-humanities specialists and educators around four Working Groups: conservation of these fragile artefacts (WG1); digitisation, metadata and Web-GIS (WG2); transnational comparative
research on their political and pedagogical role (WG3); and educational and public outreach (WG4). Crucially, COST funds networking — meetings, training schools, mobility grants and dissemination — not research or digitisation costs, so participation carries
no financial burden for your institution.</div>

<b>What we are asking of you. </b>We invite you to join as a <b>Secondary Proposer</b>, contributing your expertise to the Working Group(s) most relevant to your work. As part of this, we would warmly ask you to involve your PhD students and post-doctoral researchers
