COMPETITIVE GRANTS
Horizon Europe
4CH
Perfect Execution
The project aims to
set up the methodological, procedural, and organizational framework of a Competence Centre able to seamlessly work with a network of national, regional, and local Cultural Institutions, providing them with advice, support, and services focused on the preservation and conservation of historical monuments and sites. 4CH starts on the 1st January 2021 for a duration of three years.
IPERION HS
A Real Success
IPERION HS is a consortium of 24 partners from 23 countries that contributes to establishing a pan-European research infrastructure on heritage science. It offers training and access to a wide range of high-level scientific instruments, methodologies, data and tools for advancing knowledge and innovation in heritage science.
ARIADNE PLUS
A Real Success
Integrate and effectively serve a research community that studies the past to better understand the present with the tools and the methodology of the future, in the service of culture and society
EUROTECH:
European Technologies and strategies for Cultural Heritage at risk.
The project concerns the creation of an innovative EU curriculum of a professional and specialist figure of ‘Archaeologist Technologist’ who can deal with diagnostic mapping, research, valorization and publishing for the safeguard of Cultural Heritage at risk, specifically Archaeological Heritage.
GRAVITATE
Geometric Reconstruction and Novel Semantic Reunification of Cultural Heritage Objects”.
A digital platform for the Re-Association and Re-Assembly of Cultural heritage assets. The project created a set of software tools that will allow archaeologists and curators to reconstruct shattered or broken cultural objects, to identify and re-unify parts of a cultural object that has been separated across collections and to recognise associations between cultural artefacts that will allow new knowledge and understanding of past societies to be inferred.
EMAP
The European Music Archaeology Project
The project aims to highlight Europe’s ancient cultural roots from an unusual perspective: musical, scientific and “sensorial”. The starting point was music, because music has always been perceived as a primary need of any civilization worthy of the name. Music can sometimes reveal little known facts about ancient civilizations. It created a network of relationships and points of contact among European peoples long before we became aware of this common identity, before the Old Continent became known as such and the “history of music” began.
3D-COFORM
Tools and Expertise for 3D Collection Formation
The 3D-COFORM consortium has one over-riding aim: to establish 3D documentation as an affordable, practical and effective mechanism for long term documentation of tangible cultural heritage. 3D-COFORM proposed an ambitious program of technical research, coupled with practical exercises and research in the business of 3D to inform and accelerate the deployment of these technologies to good effect.
V-MUST
Virtual Museum Transnational Network
V-MusT.net is a Network of Excellence, focused on Virtual Museums. It aims to provide the heritage sector with the tools and support to develop Virtual Museums that are educational, enjoyable, long-lasting and easy to maintain.
EAGLE
Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy
The project aims to set a multi-lingual online collection of millions of digitised items from European museums, libraries, archives and multi-media collections. The project will make available the vast majority of the surviving inscriptions of the Greco-Roman world, complete with the essential information about them and, for all the most important, a translation into English.
