It aims to bring coordinated solutions to the key existing needs in the domain of cultural heritage protection: 1) Understand, 2) Prevent, 3) Act, 4) Repair. Coordinated by the Ecole française d’Athènes, the consortium consists of 15 partners from 7 EU countries, among them research institutions, law enforcement units, private companies and governmental bodies responsible for cultural heritage.
