ARTEMIS aims to create a digital infrastructure to support the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage while leveraging the potential of 3D visualization technologies. The project is based on the innovative concept of the “Reactive Heritage Digital Twin”, a digital replica of real objects that will have a decisive impact on European research infrastructures.

ARTEMIS will integrate data management, providing researchers and professionals with access to a vast repository of over four million scientific and technical reports, alongside advanced visualization and simulation techniques. This will enable virtual restoration experiments, allowing experts to test restoration strategies without physically altering heritage assets. While the project primarily targets the scientific and professional community, its ability to simulate and visualize restoration outcomes will also be invaluable for decision-makers to evaluate restoration strategies in advance. Ultimately, the general public will benefit from cost reductions and enhanced heritage preservation, ensuring the transmission of cultural treasures to future generations.

The project brings together 22 partners from 12 EU countries, along with two major restoration centres as affiliates. ARTEMIS is led by CNR-INO, an institute of the Italian National Research Council working on optical heritage diagnostics for more than 40 years.

On behalf of DARIAH, ACDH staff members are leading the work packages “Training design and initial operations” and “Delivering training”. In this role, we are responsible for the overall training provision, a holistic training perspective,  the delivery of summer schools and virtual training opportunities that will be accessible via DARIAH-Campus.
