ARTEMIS

Applying Reactive Twins to Enhance Monument Information Systems (ARTEMIS) is a European commission funded project that seeks to utilise a Digital Twin approach to better research and practice within conservation and safeguarding of cultural heritage.  The project begins in January 2025 and will run for three years.  

Reactive digital twins are a digital representation of a physical resource combined with analytics that track changes associated with that resource. ARTEMIS will use reactive digital twins to forecast the consequences of real life events, such as deterioration, on cultural heritage. This will allow these events to be addressed and identify and remedy potential damage to cultural heritage before it occurs. The creation of digital twins can also improve visitor experience through immersive encounters with cultural heritage, as well as advancing research and education. 

ARTEMIS’ main objectives are: 

  • To offer “advanced modelling and prediction capabilities for scientific and policy users” and  a method to “to replace physical experiments and interventions by using digital twins”.
  • To enhance competitiveness and improve effectiveness of European RIs.
  • To enable the development of better informed and more effective decision support systems.

The ADS is involved in multiple work packages within the project, leading work on : Setting up the ARTEMIS digital infrastructure (WP10), Infrastructure implementation (WP11) and infrastructure release (WP12).
