STECCI

STECCI is a multidisciplinary project combining expert knowledge and skills from conservation and conservation science, climate and environmental sciences, life sciences, social sciences, economy, creative industries and humanities to overcome the challenges in the cultural heritage realm imposed by climate change.

STECCI will use cutting-edge research equipment, digital technologies, newest approaches in social sciences and excellence in conservation practice to achieve the set objectives based on demo-cases, which will be translated and applicable to wider use in Europe and beyond.

STECCI will trace decay patterns on cultural property back to climate and environmental conditions and improve the understanding of their correlation.

The project will produce the first science-based Preservation Guidelines (monitoring protocol and conservation guidelines) for limestone monuments in two climate scenarios. It will be strengthened with economic tools to facilitate optimal decision-making in protection of cultural heritage.

A methodology for low-cost digitisation will be developed, thus supporting the EU policy which stipulates that within the coming years all of the cultural heritage at risk needs to be digitised in 3D.

Focus on the fieldwork campaign aiming to complete the digital acquisition of historically significant limestone funerary monuments found within the overgrown grounds of Saint-Jean Cemetery, in Caen, France, with the participation of the Centre for Materials and Processes ‘CERI MP) of IMT Nord Europe : https://projects.heritagemalta.mt/project-news/heritage-malta-completes-the-digital-acquisition-of-stecci-in-france/
