In September 2005, it became clear, the best option to apply for EU funding for the liveARCH idea was not to wait for INTERREG 4, but to join Culture 2000 with a 3 year project. One of the limits of Culture 2000 was the number of participants: maximum 8. After 2 weeks, our liveARCH project counted 8 candidates. We hope to be able to have more EXARC members join the project and its activities as affiliate partners. By the 28th of October, an application of almost 5 kilogrammes was sent off to Brussels.

The eight co-organisers are:
Historisch OpenluchtMuseum Eindhoven (leader) (NL)
Lofotr - the Vikingmuseum at Borg (NO)
Foundation Fotevikens Maritima Centrum (SE)
Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen (DE)
Araisi Lake Fortress Foundation (LV)
Matrica Múzeum és Régészeti Park (HU)
Comune di Modena - Museo Civico Archeologico Etnologico (IT)
