ARTEMIS has signed a Co-operation Agreement with the National Museum of Slovenia (NMS) and the Service for Movable Heritage and Museums (SMHM) to participate in one of the pilot studies.
The pilot study will showcase the integration of meteorological alerts, site-specific risk assessment models, cultural heritage asset data, communication channels, and coordination with the relevant stakeholders. Its purpose is to enable timely and informed responses to safeguard heritage sites from climate and environmental hazards. The stakeholders are mainly cultural heritage managers, i.e. curators, conservationists and restoration experts, with this pilot also being of potential interest to researchers, academics and the general public.
ARTEMIS partner ZRC SAZU will provide the technical expertise, building the alert system to be used with the content provided by the NMS and network of contacts from SMHM.
The Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) is Slovenia’s premier research institution, renowned for its multidisciplinary expertise in the humanities, social sciences, and select natural sciences.
The National Museum of Slovenia (NMS) is the country’s oldest and central museum institution, responsible for preserving, researching and presenting Slovenian cultural heritage. Its rich collections range from prehistory to modern times, with a particular focus on archaeological heritage. The museum combines the longest and continuous research tradition in Slovenia with international collaboration and innovative approaches, ensuring that Slovenian heritage is safeguarded, studied and made accessible to the public.
The Service for Movable Heritage and Museums (SMHM) is based at the NMS and serves all the museums in Slovenia, acting as a bridge between these and the Ministry of Culture. It has a wide-ranging brief, being responsible for implementation co-ordination of education and standards, policies and protection of cultural heritage among its many tasks.
