We are delighted to welcome you to the webinar “Cultural Heritage Mapping and Monitoring”, organized under the framework of the COASTLINE project (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-SE). This workshop brings together a diverse community of experts from universities, research centers, and SMEs, all actively engaged in the documentation, analysis, and preservation of cultural heritage through advanced mapping and monitoring techniques.
The program features presentations on Earth Observation applications, geophysical prospection, coastal bathymetry, and multi-source geoinformatics workflows. It also highlights innovative visualization tools, including drone-based imaging, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), offering immersive experiences for cultural heritage interpretation.
A dedicated dissemination session will provide valuable insights into the MSCA Staff Exchanges and the integration of Open Science practices in research projects.
We look forward to your active participation in this collaborative and knowledge-rich event.
