National Conservation Area “St. Sophia of Kyiv” (NCA-SSK) , Ukraine
The National Conservation Area, “St. Sophia of Kyiv”, is a museum complex that combines 77 architectural monuments.
The monuments of the conservation area are the main objects of the tourist routes of Kyiv and Crimea. The activity of National Conservation Area “St. Sophia of Kyiv” has been highly praised by the world public: in 1987 the International Jury of the Hamburg Foundation (Germany) awarded the Reserve the European Gold Medal for Historic Monuments Conservation. In 1990, Saint-Sophia Cathedral and related 18th century monastic buildings were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The main activities of the National Conservation Area are: conservation, restoration, rehabilitation, science, research, methodology, archive, exposition, education and more. Furthermore, the National Conservation Area is conducting strategies related to the nomination of monuments – St. Cyril’s and St. Andrew’s Churches and the Sudak Fortress – to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Italy
The National Research Council (CNR) is the largest public research institution in Italy and the only one under the Research Ministry performing multidisciplinary activities.
Founded as legal person on 18 November 1923, the CNR’s mission is to perform research in its own Institutes, to promote innovation and competitiveness of the national industrial system, to promote the internationalization of the national research system, to provide technologies and solutions to emerging public and private needs, to advise government and other public bodies, and to contribute to the qualification of human resources. In the CNR’s research world, its main resource is the available knowledge which means people, with their skills, commitment and ideas. This capital comprises more than 8 000 employees, of whom more than half are researchers and technologists. Some 4 000 young researchers are engaged in postgraduate studies and research training at CNR within the organization’s top-priority areas of interest. A significant contribution also comes from research associates: researchers, from Universities or private firms, who take part in CNR’s research activities.

4D-IT GmbH, Austria
4D-IT GmbH is a reliable partner in 3D-surveying. Our goal is precise 3D-documentation of objects at any scale with the latest technology and the highest quality. Camera-based and LiDAR sensors are used for this task. 4D-IT relies on a decade of experience in research and development at the Vienna University of Technology to implement customer-oriented
solutions.
Since 2011, UAV-based surveying systems are used. In 2013, the world-wide first UAV-based platform for laser scanning was presented and the 4DU-Scanner has been used since 2018 for both, research projects and service providing. The entire process from data acquisition to
photorealistic real-time application is covered. WebGIS solutions are offered as a basis for providing the results. 4D-IT is sales partner of Phase One Industrial cameras, Applanix navigation solutions, and Piql long term archiving solutions. Within recent research projects, various sensor integrations for vegetation mapping have been realized (e.g. georeferencing for multispectral camera, hand-held forest inventory scanner). Since 2024, 4D-IT is leading an international research project on the application of earth observation data for wetland monitoring.
Within the ChemiNova project, 4D-IT is responsible for the implementation of enhanced-3D-models and drone based Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) application.

University of Burgundy (UB), France
The University of Burgundy’s roots run deep within the history of France.
uB’s origins date back to the French monarchy, with the founding of the Dijon faculty of law in 1722, at the instigation of King Louis XV of France. After the French Revolution, between 1805 and 1809, Emperor Napoleon I of France founded the faculties of Science, Arts and Medicine, at the heart of Dijon. In the 1950’s – over 150 years later – the entire University and its new faculties settled on the beautiful current campus, situated at the doors of the city centre. Over the past 20 years, five other campuses have been created all across Burgundy. Each one of them contributes to making uB the leading higher education and research institution in the region. The ImViA laboratory comes from the Electronics, Computer and Image Laboratory (Le2i), a research laboratory under the supervision of the University of Burgundy from 1996 to 2018, Arts et Métiers ParisTech from 2014 to 2017 and the CNRS from 2001 to 2017.
Research thematic of ImViA laboratory is Artificial Vision. The lab is centered around three teams: CORES, IFTIM and VIBOT.

Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H., Austria
Schönbrunn Palace is one of Austria’s most important cultural assets, and since the 1960s has been one of Vienna’s major tourist attractions, drawing millions of visitors each year. At the 20th session of the World Heritage Committee held in December 1996, Schönbrunn Palace was put on the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, an institution founded in 1972. Inclusion in this list confirms the importance of the palace and its gardens as a unique Baroque ensemble.

ART+COM AG, Germany
At the ART+COM Studios in Cologne and Berlin, we use new media to design and develop installations, objects and spaces in both analogue and digital format. We create environments that allow people to enjoy experiences that would otherwise be unimaginable in everyday life. We use new technology as a means of artistic expression, as a medium for interactive communication and for sensory experiences. We augment the visitors’ capabilities and show them new ways to interact with the world. Enabling people to do this is what drives us. We see our research and development work as a source of inspiration and a basis for experimentation when designing innovations. We also use it as a decision-making tool when we look for cutting-edge interfaces and new forms of interaction and communication. By taking this approach in previous projects, we have created generative applications and computational reflectives. It has also helped us find new solutions in augmentation and interactive surfaces.
