Our Green Cluster
The project coordination will establish close collaboration with consortiums developing related topics within the call “HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-01 – Advanced technologies for remote monitoring of heritage monuments and artefacts”.
A remote monitoring solution to pave the future of cultural heritage preservation
Preserving our rich cultural heritage faces a critical challenge: the effective remote monitoring of built heritage assets. Current methods fall short, risking the deterioration of invaluable structures. In this context, the EU-funded ARGUS project emerges as a groundbreaking solution. With a focus on preventive preservation, it pioneers a novel digital twin model, advanced digitisation workflows, multi-scale multi-modal monitoring approaches and AI-powered decision-support methods. This ambitious initiative, uniting AI and cutting-edge technology, promises a transformative leap in heritage conservation, ensuring the longevity of our architectural treasures. Targeting researchers, stakeholders, authorities and the public, ARGUS promises real-time monitoring, long-term analysis and innovative strategies to safeguard our cultural heritage.

Systematic autonomous remote surveying of underwater cultural heritage monuments and artefacts using non-destructive, cost-effective and transportable digital solutions
Underwater cultural heritage monuments and artefacts require advanced surveying techniques. Digitalisation facilitates systematic, autonomous, and remote surveying. The EU-funded NERITES project will use autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (BUOYs), and remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) for the remote monitoring and chemical mapping of underwater heritage sites. A swarm of self-coordinated AUVs will monitor, survey, and scan the heritage sites to identify degradation and monitor the state of the surrounding underwater site. BUOYs will collect and analyse raw AUV information and be equipped with renewable solar collectors to ensure continuous power availability. Meanwhile, supervisors/users will be stationed remotely onshore for periodic mission lifecycle management and a general overview of the system situation.

Intelligent Advanced Photonics Tools for Remote and/or on-site Monitoring of Cultural Heritage Monuments and Artefacts
iPhotoCult aims to enhance Cultural Heritage (CH) preservation with innovative, non-invasive tools for inspection, documentation, diagnosis, and monitoring. It integrates advanced diagnostic tools, intelligent data processing, and visualization software to support remote or on-site CH monitoring. This project empowers CH stakeholders to make cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable preservation decisions by providing user-friendly, efficient solutions. Through European pilot projects, iPhotoCult’s solutions will be tested and optimized, offering insights for replication in diverse settings. By leveraging advanced photonics and software, iPhotoCult supports sustainable management and preservation of Europe’s CH.
