Earthquake Risk plAtform For European cities Cultural Heritage protection

01/01/2023 - 31/12/2026
ERA4CH addresses the development of a series of tools, combining Artificial Intelligence with structural stability models, advanced remote sensing techniques, image processing, geotechnics and cadastral data sets in a GIS application for damage assessment and long-term monitoring of historic centres. This innovative methodology and tools will enable effective monitoring and management of the historic centres to mitigate the effects of catastrophic events by enabling preventive intervention in the areas where most of the damage is expected.

Development of Utilities Management Platform for the case of Quarantine and Lockdown

01/01/2021 - 31/12/2025
To develop an open platform. Through this platform, local authorities will be able to plan and manage the demand and supply of building utilities in case of quarantine or lockdown. The platform will be developed through a Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) program. eUMaP platform will be based on the rationale of earth observation, and the recording of the required network information in open BIM platforms of five European capital cities (Rome, Berlin, Athens, Vilnius, Nicosia).
