Description du projet
Des inspections adaptables à divers scénarios de patrimoine culturel
Face aux menaces croissantes que le changement climatique et les conflits font peser sur le patrimoine culturel européen, le projet ChemiNova, financé par l’UE, vise à révolutionner les pratiques de conservation grâce à un système informatique intelligent. En s’attaquant aux dommages structurels et chimiques causés par le changement climatique et les conflits civils, ChemiNova se distingue par son approche inclusive. Contrairement aux dispositifs traditionnels, sa technologie garantit l’accessibilité pour tous, en faisant participer les communautés locales à la science citoyenne. Le projet ne se contente pas d’inaugurer de nouvelles méthodes de surveillance, il implique aussi activement les praticiens du patrimoine et les non-experts, faisant de la conservation un effort de collaboration pour un héritage culturel résilient. ChemiNova se distingue par son engagement en faveur de l’inclusion, puisque la technologie est conçue pour une accessibilité universelle.
Objectif
What if EU citizens could collaborate with scientists in the preservation of cultural heritage? Could conservation professionals be provided with actionable technologies, skills and frameworks that upgrade their efficiency? Europe's cultural heritage is a rich and diverse melting pot of traditions, monuments and communities where we have boiled our identity, well-being and sense of belonging. Nonetheless, in recent years, we have witnessed a series of natural and human-induced disasters that threaten it. Improving cultural heritage resilience to climate change and anthropogenic hazards requires a shift in conservation practices towards more holistic ones. ChemiNova aims to develop an intelligent computational system that goes beyond current technologies to improve the conservation, analysis and monitoring of European cultural heritage assets. Using a myriad of data, we will tackle structural and chemical damages, focusing on two specific human-induced threats: climate change and civil conflicts. Furthermore, our impact lies in the fact that we will not build an ad hoc device, but our technology is adapted so that anyone can access it from anywhere. We will involve local communities in conservation practices, from providing data (citizen science) to raising awareness on the effects of climate change, natural and human hazards affecting CH. As a main objective, we will develop novel and cost-effective ways for remote and on-site monitoring of cultural heritage assets by reusing existing technologies and providing conservators with advanced analysis of structural and chemical damages due to human-induced threats. Also, it will involve heritage practitioners and non-experts in conservation processes, while considering end-users at the centre of our tools and methods. ChemiNova considers a set of non-destructive and portable technologies in a modular way that will allow adaptable inspections according to the different case scenarios, monuments, buildings and artefacts.
