The increasing occurrence of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires and pollution can cause irreversible damage to cultural heritage, or destroy entire areas.

The project aims to initiate the implementation of the structure, organisation and services of the Competence Centre, which will operate as an infrastructure aimed at providing cultural, scientific, technological, financial, strategic and policy expertise and advice able to exploit the most advanced ICT technologies with a focus on 3D technologies.
Il crescente verificarsi di disastri quali inondazioni, terremoti, incendi e inquinamento può causare danni irreversibili al patrimonio culturale, o distruggere intere aree. I siti del patrimonio culturale europeo sono in pericolo, anche per danni antropici. In questo contesto, le tecnologie digitali possono rappresentare un ausilio fondamentale per preservare i manufatti minacciati e renderli accessibili ai cittadini di tutta Europa e alle generazioni future. Inoltre, l'accesso online a modelli digitali di alta qualità di manufatti, siti e monumenti documentati secondo un approccio olistico può aumentare l'attrattiva e la promozione di un luogo, una città o uno Stato membro, sostenendo così le industrie locali del turismo e dell'accoglienza. In questa direzione, la Commissione Europea ha lanciato una call per la creazione di un “Competence Centre” finalizzato alla conservazione del patrimonio culturale attraverso tecnologie ICT, come punto di riferimento transnazionale e interdisciplinare. Il progetto 4CH - Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, finanziato dalla Commissione Europea e avviato il 1 gennaio 2021 da un Consorzio di 19 partner, ha l’obiettivo di progettare e definire l’architettura complessiva di un Competence Centre Europeo sul Patrimonio Culturale, che funzionerà in modo proattivo per la conservazione e la salvaguardia del patrimonio. Il progetto mira ad avviare l'attuazione della struttura, l’organizzazione e i servizi del Competence Centre, che opererà come un'infrastruttura finalizzata a fornire competenze, consulenze culturali, scientifiche, tecnologiche, finanziarie, strategiche e politiche in grado di sfruttare le più avanzate tecnologie ICT con particolare attenzione alle tecnologie 3D.

Abstract
The increasing occurrence of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires and pollution can cause irreversible damage to cultural heritage, or destroy entire areas. Europe's cultural heritage sites are under threat, also from man-made damage. In this context, digital technologies can be a strong support to preserving threatened artefacts and making them accessible to citizens across Europe and to future generations. Furthermore, online access to high quality digital models of artefacts, sites and monuments documented through a holistic approach can increase the attractiveness and promotion of a place, city or Member State, thus supporting local tourism and hospitality industries. In this direction, the European Commission has launched a call for the creation of a "Competence Centre" aimed at preserving cultural heritage through ICT technologies, as a transnational and interdisciplinary reference point. The 4CH - Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage project, funded by the European Commission and started on 1st January 2021 by a consortium of 19 partners, aims to design and define the overall architecture of a European Competence Centre on Cultural Heritage, which will work proactively for the conservation and safeguarding of heritage. The project aims to initiate the implementation of the structure, organisation and services of the Competence Centre, which will operate as an infrastructure aimed at providing cultural, scientific, technological, financial, strategic and policy expertise and advice able to exploit the most advanced ICT technologies with a focus on 3D technologies.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
