The European Commission – DG Research & Innovation invites all stakeholders in the cltural heritage sector in a virtual event  Tuesday 28 March 2023 focused on the current calls for a European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH).

With an envisaged budget of €110 million until 2025 from Horizon Europe, the ECCCH will be a unique infrastructure that will enable unprecedented transdisciplinary and large-scale collaboration between specialists. It will provide cutting-edge technologies for digitising artefacts, researching artworks, and documenting data, all of which will significantly advance and add a new digital dimension to cultural heritage research, preservation, conservation, and restoration. Moreover, it will aim to facilitate the access to advanced technologies and remove barriers for smaller and remote institutions.

This event aims to foster partnerships among research institutions, cultural heritage entities and other organisations interested in participating in proposals for the ECCCH call of 2023 (under the Work Programme 2023-2024 of Horizon Europe Cluster 2).
