Project description

The POLITEIA II (Politismos-Technologia, New Technologies in the Research, Study, Documentation and Access to the Information for Cultural Heritage Objects and Monuments II) (MIS 5002478) research project, Action KRIPIS, is implemented under the “Action for the Strategic Development on the Research and Technological Sector” of the General Secretariat for Research and Technology, Ministry of Education, Greece and the European Regional Development Fund.

The project constitutes a continuation of POLITEIA I project (MIS 448300) and reflects one of the current development plans of FORTH. As in its first phase of POLITEIA I, six Institutes of FORTH collaborate towards an integrated interdisciplinary approach for the development and the best use of innovative technologies in the domain of Cultural Heritage. The main focus of the project is towards the research and development of tools, methods, techniques, analyses for the diagnosis, archiving, study, protection, management and promotion of cultural heritage monuments.

There are 3 axes serving as the test bed of the project:

  • Technologies of mapping and restoration
  • Intangible cultural content (archives, databases)
  • Material culture (artifacts, monuments, sites)

This project was implemented under the framework of the “Strategic Development Action of Research and Technological Bodies” and funded by the Operational Programme “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” (EPAnEK) under the NSRF 2014-2020, with the co-sponsor European Union (European Regional Development Fund).

POLItismos-TEchnologIA: New Technologies in the Research, Study, Documentation and Access to the Information for Cultural Heritage Objects and Monuments II.

The project was financed by Greece and EU.

Politeia (πολιτεία) is an ancient Greek word used in Greek political thought, especially that of Plato and Aristotle. Derived from the word polis (“city-state”), it has a range of meanings from “the rights of citizens” to a “form of government”.
