Cultural heritage (CH) provides evidence of past events and contributes to current wellbeing. 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.
A total of 21 organizations from 7 countries participate in the project, including 8 Universities and Research Organizations and 6 Cultural Heritage Authorities. The project started on 01/01/2023 and will last for 3 years. The TRIQUETRA project is funded from the EU HE research and innovation programme under GA No. 101094818.

The main objective of 3D-BioPerioDontis is the development of new biomaterials for the fabrication of innovative bio-absorbable 3D printed scaffolds for personalized therapy of periodontitis, which will act simultaneously as drug delivery systems for controlled delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The most important individual sub-objectives of the project are the following: (i) development of a methodology for creating 3D models of the hard tissues of the oral cavity of patients using CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) data; (ii) development of a methodology for designing 3D scaffolds for personalized treatment of periodontitis, using 3D models of hard tissues of the oral cavity of patients; (iii) development of a management software for the entire production cycle of scaffolds; (iv) collection of CBCT data for patients with periodontitis; (v) creation of 3D models of the hard tissues of the oral cavity of multiple patients; (vi) 3D design and printing of 3D periodontitis scaffolds for multiple patients.
The project is co-financed by the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE (project code: T2ΕΔΚ-01641).

The integrated documentation of archaeological sites and religious monuments is an international research issue in Geoinformatics. The complexity of such sites combined with the requirements for high accuracies, the need for 3D visualization of geospatial information in high resolution, the change detection and monitoring through time, require the development and implementation of contemporary techniques and procedures for documentation of multiple dimensions (spatial and qualitative). However, the available techniques and methods are either inadequate (e.g., the lack of 3D GIS systems with 3D topology) or time-consuming and require high computing power (e.g., for the compilation of georeferenced photorealistic 3D modelling).
The objective of the METEORA project was to overcome these issues by the creation of an easy-to-use digital platform for multiple applications and potential users, that will support an interactive Information System for a multi-dimensional documentation of Cultural Heritage sites. The innovations of the proposal are: the introduction of innovative techniques for data collection, processing and multi-dimensional visualization of the spatial model and their correlation with appropriately structured databases (with various types of data) in order to create the optimum Information System (named "Meteora"); the automation of techniques combining spatial data that are collected from various sources in a unified adjustment, such as images from UAV with direct georeferencing, laser scanning point clouds and terrestrial measurements. Also, at the processing stage, innovation refers to the development of software for the creation of an operational 4D model, using the scale as the 4th dimension of the model; that is, the creation of a unified 3D textured model whose scale of detail representation varies automatically as the user moves around the model. Thus, the parts of the 3D model that are close to the user are represented with more details than those that are distant, without requiring any action from the user. In addition, an augmented reality model will be developed, with the introduction of 3D structures of the past that no longer exist or 3D models of missing parts of the cultural monument into the reality 3D/4D model.
The digital platform for the Information System "Meteora" is supported by portable and desktop computer devices, smartphones and tablets. The application of the above mentioned innovative techniques and the development of the platform was implemented for a part of the Holy Meteora; the case study was for the area of two non-accessible huge rocks (Modi and Alyssos) on top of which ruins of old monasteries and other old constructions exist. The broader area is inhabited by an active monastic community of multi-century-long history, which is recognized as a Holy Area and an important archaeological site.
This project has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 607522.

This project has developed an advanced 5D Multi-Purpose LIS (Land information System) for integrating and managing various types of information (financial, architectural, topographical, cadastral, valuation, engineering, ownership, etc.) from governmental, regional and local databases at three spatial dimensions + time + scale. The system allows representation and analysis of real estate properties and manmade features in three physical dimensions (X,Y,Z), through time (planning phase, development phase, registration phase, modification phase, and so on) and at varying scales (level of detail).
