The objectives of HERACLES can be summarised as follows: the development and validation of a scalable and flexible innovative ICT platform able to collect and integrate heterogeneous data for situational awareness and decision support; the design and implementation of new environmentally sustainable solutions and materials for the long-term maintenance and restoration of cultural heritage, under the climatic change impact; the elaboration and integration of forecast climate models and experimental data into the platform; the set-up of specific guidelines for long-term prevention and maintenance actions which can account specifically for cultural heritage site features and the risks affecting them; The development of strategies and tools to promote HERACLES results to a widespread arena of recipient communities; The demonstration of the effectiveness of HERACLES at three challenging test beds (two in Crete, Greece: the Knossos Palace and the coastal Venetian fortification; the third is the historical town of Gubbio in Italy). Through these objectives, the project aims to design and validate manageable methodologies and define operational procedures and guidelines for risk mitigation and management. Output The project works on developing a system exploiting an ICT platform that collects and integrates multisource information. This is to effectively provide complete and updated situational awareness and support decisions for innovative measurements to improve cultural heritage resilience including new solutions for maintenance and conservation.
