Toolbox for assessing and mitigating Climate Change risks and natural hazards threatening cultural heritage

Project description

A trifecta approach to protecting cultural heritage from nature

Cultural heritage (CH) provides evidence of past events and contributes to current well-being. Preserving CH for future generations requires an understanding of the challenges. In this context, the EU-funded TRIQUETRA project will explore the effects of climate change and natural hazards on CH, including climate-related hazards, extreme water, snow and ice hazards, geological and geophysical hazards, structural damage hazards, chemical and biological hazards as well as related compound and cascading effects. It will create an evidence-based assessment platform that will allow precise risk stratification through a three-step approach of risk identification, quantification and mitigation. The platform, along with a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, will act as a decision support tool towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation.

Objective

The TRIQUETRA project aims at creating an evidence-based assessment platform that allows precise risk stratification, and also creates a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, acting as a Decision Support Tool towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation. The overall approach of Triquetra is based on three distinct steps:
1. Risk Identification
2. Risk Quantification
3. Risk Mitigation
This “trifecta” approach (hence the name Triquetra) creates a framework of risk assessment and risk mitigation so as to tackle as many of these risks as possible, in the most efficient way available. This is further analysed in the following sections.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
