The U-Eculture project (Horizon CL2-2022-HERITAGE-01-07 project) is an integrated research project, in which partners with excellent skills work in the field of cultural heritage. The aim is to build a new holistic vision of safeguarding and enhancing Europe's cultural heritage in which technologies, models and tools are properly designed for cultural heritage and not adapted to it, as is currently the case. The aim is to create a European area for cultural heritage and a digital ecosystem where each stakeholder can add cultural data with different levels of representation. An Open Source system with different levels of authentication and different functions and purposes. We have a humanistic and cultural vision of heritage and from the concrete knowledge of the current management of cultural heritage by public bodies in the various Member States.
The project focuses on the following key points:
1) Development of models based on the use of the most advanced digital technologies to be made available to the authorities of the individual Member States responsible for safeguarding cultural heritage.
2) Develop online heritage management models, which use the most advanced technologies to ensure an economic return also for Digital Cultural Heritage.
3) Promote dialogue and networking between bodies responsible for the protection of cultural heritage and policy makers.
The Research Unit of the University of Messina will contribute to the realization of various tasks and WPs envisaged.
