StratiGraph (Knowledge Graphs for Stratigraphy) aims to transform archaeological and paleontological documentation by developing innovative open collaborative tools that integrate advanced knowledge graphs, artificial intelligence, and 3D field documentation techniques. The project's "Data-Ready" approach enables clean, structured data collection during fieldwork for seamless integration into knowledge graphs without additional curation burden. Key innovations include tools that function effectively in all conditions - a "works-everywhere" solution allowing technology use even where power and connectivity pose challenges. The project will validate these tools through diverse case studies including the Basilica Iulia in Rome, Sarmizegetusa Regia in Romania, St. John Lampadistis Monastery in Cyprus, the Colonia Iulia Ilici Augusta in Spain, the Kraków Spadzista Palaeolithic site, the Santa Olalla site in Spain, and the dataset from Cesarea in Israel. StratiGraph will deliver: -Knowledge graph infrastructure to organize stratigraphic and spatial data -AI-powered tools for creating and enriching annotated bibliographies -Advanced 3D documentation capabilities for recording stratigraphy -Variable connectivity protocols for real-time and seamless offline/online work -Comprehensive training modules and technical support resources The project emphasizes open science principles, with all tools being open-source and data FAIR-compliant. Through integration with the ECCCH, StratiGraph will establish new standards for digital documentation while fostering a skilled, collaborative research community across Europe. This will significantly reduce the time from discovery to publication while improving documentation accuracy and interpretation of our shared cultural heritage. By maintaining exclusive data control and ownership within EU-based institutions, the project supports Europe's strategic autonomy and long-term data governance objectives.

"""SE-MOVEH: Social inclusion and EMployment Opportunities through the Valorization of European cultural Heritage"" is a 24 months project, involving 4 different organizations coming from Italy, France, Malta and Romania, working in different but interconnectable sectors: education of disadvantaged young adults, ICTs, Environment, EU Participatory Democracy, integration of migrants, Cultural Heritage, Public Services, Social Entrepreneurship. The cross-sectorial aspect of the project represent its strength: partner organizations with different backgrounds and specifities, but with a common objective.2018 was European Year of Cultural Heritage and it is a priority to valorize it. This Strategic Partnership intends to do so, by supporting Social Inclusion and Entrepreneurship of disadvantaged young adults.After sharing best practices, thanks to the study visits in the different Institutions, the project partners will co-design a unique Training model for entrepreneurship through the valorization of the European Cultural Heritage, which, after being tested at local communities level, will be released as an E-book. This output will be the main result of the Strategic Partnership and it will be freely available in the online young and adult education resource platforms EPALE and SALTO, on the project's blog and on Social Media Platforms, so as to be used from any other organization and adapted to the specific contexts.Thanks to the implementation of 3 International meetings (Preparatory, Intermediary and Dissemination) + 4 Learning/Trainings activities + 4 local educational activities, about 32 participants (Staff members, educators and trainers) will increase their skills and competences and at least 30 young adult learners (disadvantaged, unemployed citizens and migrants) per Country will partecipate in the community experimentation of the new methodology.SE-MOVEH will have an long term impact on:- the ORGANIZATIONS - Exchange of best practices in Adult Education from different fields and contexts: cultural, entrepreneurial, social, digital, public services and cultural policies- the STAFF MEMBERS - learning from each other about how supporting the young adult learners in their learning process, for increasing their opportunities in entering the job market as main actors- the YOUNG ADULTS LEARNERS - acquisition of skills and competencies in the field of entrepreneurship, through the valorization of the Cultural Heritage- the LOCAL COMMUNITIES - valorization of the Cultural Heritage through new and fresh entrepreneurial initiatives started by disadvantaged young adults."

The Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, the European Heritage Strategy for the 21st Century, the Faro Convention and Towards an Integrated Approach to Cultural Heritage for Europe agree that cultural heritage is intrinsically related to personal wellbeing and human identity and a rich but underrated and under-resourced social and economic good.The CHARTER project will create a lasting, comprehensive sectoral skills strategy to ensure Europe has the necessary cultural heritage skills to support sustainable societies and economies. The project will use strategic collaboration and innovative methodologies to bridge the gaps between educational and occupational systems and employer needs, to reduce skills shortages, gaps and mismatches, and overcome the paucity of cultural heritage statistical data. The project’s 21 full members -plus its 7 affiliate partners- from 14 EU states are leading academic/training, employer and policy stakeholders in the European cultural heritage sector.The project will collect strategic data on the five knowledge areas of the call to identify core and transversal competences, including digital, technological and green adaptation skills. It will research existing programmes, identify gaps and propose capacity-building models and mechanisms for formal education and training (using the EQF and EQAVET frameworks), non-formal and informal learning, and professional mobility. It will carry out regional pilots to test and validate these approaches. It will analyse sectoral dynamics and map stakeholders. It will propose occupational task descriptors for occupational and economic frameworks.CHARTER will build a durable cultural heritage skills alliance in Europe by mainstreaming the project’s methodologies, outputs and outcomes, maximising their impact and creating multiplier effects at the European, national and regional levels, to enable Europe to sustainably protect, promote and enhance its tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as powerful tools for sustainable environmental monitoring, playing a vital role in comprehending the diverse effects of climate change on ecosystems. The integration of state of the art techniques such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) with UAV technology has introduced innovative pathways for various environmental applications. However, their full potential remains to be explored. ACCELERATE proposes the development of a fertile inter-discipline and inter-sectoral ecosystem that aims to radically contribute towards enhancing UAV technology to enable the sustainable environmental management. The specific objectives of the project are to: a) Create a continuously updated ecosystem with UAV datasets suitable for environmental studies and climate change impact assessment, b) promote methodological advances in the field of UAVs technology, by exploiting the unique capabilities of those data with state-of-the-art techniques and c) establish clear guidelines and homogenized protocols for the characterization of the exploitation of UAVs in specific application domains. Experimental analysis will also be carried to showcase the practical use of the project outputs via four carefully selected and innovative Use Cases, that will serve as Key Performance Indicators of the project. ACCELERATE brings together enthusiastic staff from academia and industry via a series of carefully-designed secondments, establishing a unique fertile collaborative research and innovation environment to promote pioneering research in environmental and socioeconomic studies implementation within urban, natural and agricultural environments. A strong inter-sectoral experienced research team of 17 partners from 9 countries, of 8 academic and 8 industrial partners coming from Greece (2), Romania (3), Italy (2), Cyprus (1), United Kingdom (4), North Macedonia (1), France (1), Germany (1) and Portugal (1) constitute the project’s Consortium.

The 4CH project will design and prepare for a European Competence Centre (CC) on the Conservation of Cultural Heritage which will work proactively for the preservation and conservation of cultural heritage (CH). The project aims to start implementing the structure, organization and services of the CC which will operate as a virtual infrastructure providing expertise, advice and services using state-of-the-art ICT with a special focus on 3D technology. A Strategic Advisory Board, including representatives of major national and international CH bodies, will be established to advise on cultural, scientific, technological, financial, strategy and policy areas. 4CH will design and implement the ICT infrastructure of the CC, based on a Cultural Heritage Cloud, compliant with the EOSC vision, to provide an open collaborative digital space for cultural heritage conservation giving access to repositories of data, metadata, standards and guidelines. Access to High Performance Computing service providers will be supported. The core results of 4CH work will comprise of: • a holistic interdisciplinary approach to state-of-the-art 3D documentation of monuments and sites for conservation, preservation, access and exploitation • guidance on policies and strategies • a catalogue of well-documented standards • an inventory of software and tools • guidelines for data acquisition, management and storage • a set of success stories on advanced digitization • advice on funding opportunities • training and education plans for professionals and managers • communication and dissemination of 4CH results • a complete business model and a sustainability plan for the Competence Centre. 4CH will foster the implementation of actions to substantially increase the number and the quality of digitized sites, documents and monuments.
