📘 Μόλις κυκλοφόρησε η Ετήσια Έκθεση Δραστηριοτήτων 2025 του Ερευνητικού Κέντρου Αθηνά.

Μια χρονιά εδραίωσης και στρατηγικής ανάπτυξης, με ισχυρή επιστημονική παρουσία, διεθνείς διακρίσεις και σημαντικά βήματα για το μέλλον του Κέντρου.

Από την έναρξη λειτουργίας του HERON – Ελληνικού Κέντρου Αριστείας στη Ρομποτική και την υλοποίηση του PHAROS – Ελληνικού Εργοστασίου Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης, έως τη διεύρυνση των διεθνών συνεργασιών και τη σημαντική επένδυση στις υποδομές του Αθηνά, το 2025 έθεσε ισχυρές βάσεις για την επόμενη ημέρα.

Στην Έκθεση αποτυπώνονται παράλληλα οι άνθρωποι, οι ιδέες και οι συνεργασίες πίσω από αυτή την πορεία.

ARTEMIS reaches Milestone 7: the pilots have been selected and the initial design is completed.

A key transition for the project, from technical development to real-world cultural heritage applications.

The ARTEMIS pilots are the experimentation framework of the project: a diverse set of use cases designed to test how the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin can support conservation, monitoring, simulation, interpretation and decision-making across different cultural heritage contexts.

The pilot portfolio is organised across three scales.

1. Small-scale pilots

Focused use cases at the level of individual assets, specific collections or well-defined environments. They include 3D virtual reassembly, immersive monitoring, smart display cases, collaborative workspaces and condition assessment.

2. Medium-scale pilots

Monuments, historic buildings and extended structural elements. Climate and condition monitoring, structural analysis, reconstruction of past displays, environmental storytelling and performance simulation are all part of the scope.

3. Large-scale pilots

Cities, landscapes and territorial systems. From crowd movement simulation in historic city centres to metadata management for vulnerable buildings, country-scale environmental threat warning, military architecture simulation, forest management and climate change scenarios for historic settlements.

The first dedicated pilot page is now online: Pilot 20, Crowd movement simulation in historic city centres, based on a high-fidelity 3D digital replica of the Old Town of Xanthi and combining multi-agent simulation, VR-based interaction and scenario-based analysis to support decision-making for high-density events in cultural heritage settings.

Dedicated pages for the other pilots will be released over the coming weeks.

The full programme and trainers of the ARTEMIS Summer School 2026 are now online.

From 16 to 18 June at Hof University, twenty cultural heritage professionals will take part in three intensive days dedicated to the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin.

The programme runs across three themes: Vision and Strategy on Day 1, Building the Digital Twin on Day 2, and Activating the Reactive System on Day 3. Lectures and workshops cover 3D documentation, semantic modelling, knowledge graphs, AR/VR, simulation and sensor integration.

Thirteen trainers from across European research institutions will guide the sessions.

The Summer School is designed for people who want practical experience, not just theory.

Conservation professionals, researchers, digital heritage specialists, and heritage managers are all welcome to apply.
Five days at HOF University in Germany, working with reactive digital twins, simulation tools, and AR/VR environments on real heritage case studies.

📅 Application deadline: 19 March 2026

We’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the Summer School 2026!
- Hof University (Germany)
- 16–18 June 2026

For two and a half days, we will explore how ( ) are transforming cultural heritage conservation, restoration and valorisation.

This is not just another training event.
It’s an immersive, hands-on experience where 3D documentation, semantic interoperability, IoT/IoCT, simulation services and AR/VR environments converge into real workflows.

What makes this Summer School unique?

✔️ Participation is free of charge
✔️ Selected participants will receive 4 nights of accommodation (15–19 June 2026)
✔️ Travel reimbursement up to €200
✔️ Limited to 20 on-site participants to ensure real interaction

You will gain:
- A clear understanding of the workflow
- Practical experience with simulation scenarios and KPIs
- Insight into interoperability and digital heritage ecosystems
- Opportunities to connect with professionals across Europe

If you work in cultural heritage, digital humanities, 3D modelling, IoT, AR/VR, data infrastructures or conservation science, this is your opportunity to step inside the future of heritage.

Key dates

- Application deadline: 19.03.2026
- Notification of results: 10.04.2026
- Confirmation deadline: 20.04.2026

FROM VISION TO ACTION

Thank you, Brussels. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Last week, ARTEMIS spent several inspiring and intensive days at KIK-IRPA in hashtag for its annual meeting and public events. After taking a moment to reflect, we would like to express our sincere gratitude.

We warmly thank all the speakers, project partners, European Commission representatives, and colleagues who participated in person across the different sessions. We are equally grateful to everyone who joined us remotely during the two livestreams: the morning Networking Event on Policies and Projects for Digital Cultural Heritage and the afternoon ARTEMIS Dissemination Event - From Vision to Action.

With more than 800 participants connected in the morning and many more throughout the day, the response exceeded all expectations. Your engagement through your presence, questions, and insightful feedback, both on-site and online clearly demonstrated the strength, curiosity and commitment of the digital cultural heritage community across Europe and beyond.
While the days in Brussels have come to an end, the momentum they created continues. We move forward carrying the ideas, collaborations and energy sparked during the ARTEMIS meetings and events, as the project advances from vision to action towards a more reactive and resilient future for cultural heritage.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
