Cultural heritage is increasingly exposed to a wide range of risks, including environmental and climatic hazards, anthropogenic pressures, socio-economic transformations, and digital threats. Addressing these challenges requires integrated, sustainable, and inclusive preservation strategies, combining technological innovation with local knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration, and stakeholder participation.
The ARGUS project, Smart and Remote Monitoring for Cultural Preservation, aims to develop a sustainable and dynamic decision support system (DSS) that integrates multi-scale and multi-source data – such as GIS, remote sensing, in situ monitoring – to support adaptive and risk-aware heritage management. Within this framework, digital tools and data driven approaches play a crucial role not only in monitoring and risk assessment, but also in documentation, long-term safeguarding, and informed decision-making.
The workshop aims to promote interdisciplinary research, bringing together expertise from fields such as archaeology, geology, engineering, architecture, computer science, environmental sciences, social sciences, and heritage studies. Beyond purely technological solutions, this workshop explicitly encourages contributions that explore sustainable preservation practices, including community-based monitoring, and multi-level collaboration between local communities, heritage professionals, researchers, and institutions. Early career researchers and interdisciplinary perspectives are particularly welcome.
