TRIQUETRA project

Cultural heritage (CH) provides evidence of past events and contributes to current wellbeing. Preserving CH for future generations requires an understanding of the challenges. In this context, the EU-funded TRIQUETRA project will explore the effects of climate change and natural hazards on CH, including climate-related hazards, extreme water, snow and ice hazards, geological and geophysical hazards, structural damage hazards, chemical and biological hazards as well as related compound and cascading effects. It will create an evidence-based assessment platform that will allow precise risk stratification through a three-step approach of risk identification, quantification and mitigation. The platform, along with a database of available mitigation measures and strategies, will act as a Decision Support Tool towards efficient risk mitigation and site remediation.
A total of 21 organizations from 7 countries participate in the project, including 8 Universities and Research Organizations and 6 Cultural Heritage Authorities. The project started on 01/01/2023 and will last for 3 years. The TRIQUETRA project is funded from the EU HE research and innovation programme under GA No. 101094818.
