Description du projet
Préserver le patrimoine culturel subaquatique
La préservation du patrimoine culturel subaquatique, tel que les épaves de navires, les cités englouties, ainsi que les œuvres d’art et les trésors préhistoriques, est d’une grande importance. Ce patrimoine devrait être documenté et protégé. Il faudrait également sensibiliser et augmenter les connaissances du grand public à ce sujet. Le projet TECTONIC, financé par l’UE, propose une collaboration intersectorielle entre des professionnels universitaires et non universitaires dans le domaine du patrimoine culturel subaquatique, afin de fournir des connaissances et de développer des solutions aux problèmes complexes auxquels le secteur fait face. Le projet va permettre d’améliorer le partage d’expertises et vise à former à la mise en place de techniques, d’outils et de méthodes avancés. Il permettra d’établir un lien entre la recherche, l’enseignement supérieur et le monde des affaires. TECTONIC évaluera également le développement de systèmes robotiques à bas coût pour l’exploration, la documentation et la protection des ressources du patrimoine culturel subaquatique.
Objectif
Documentation and conservation of Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) is crucial to preserve humankind’s history and traditions, safeguarding tangible testimonies of past human life while ensuring its accessibility to present and future generations. TECTONIC project will promote an intersectoral collaboration between academic and non-academic professionals (such as technical experts, archaeologists, conservator, geologists, engineers, computer scientists) working in different topics related to the UCHs to respond and find solutions to the complex issues still existing in the field of UCH. The overall aim is the exchange of skills and expertise, the training activities for the implementation, improvement and assessment of innovative materials, techniques, tools and methodologies to develop solutions and marketable products for the conservation, restoration and management of the UCH (objects, artefacts, structures, remains etc.). To achieve its overall aim, TECTONIC project will undertake innovation and development activities driven by the following objectives: Study, documentation and 3D reconstruction of the selected pilot sites; Decision support tool for UCH risk assessment in a changing environment; Conservation studies, protocols and suitable procedures for preservation/conservation activities; Development of open and low-cost robotic solutions for the inspection, documentation and monitoring of UCH; Raising the public awareness and knowledge about the importance to preserve the underwater historical and archaeological heritage. All the objectives will be devoted to stimulate new ideas that would bring to the development of new marketable products by capitalizing on the research results that will be achieved in the project, creating a link between business, research and higher education.
