Immersing oneself in cultural heritage can inspire a fresh perspective, which facilitates personal growth, resilience, empathy, and self-reliance in moments of adversity. Partnering with 14 scientific institutions from 10 countries, OPI will explore how cognitive and emotional cultural heritage influences citizens’ awareness, resilience, and self-confidence. Researchers will develop a new approach to cultural communication and create technological tools to support those processes. Research experiments will be conducted at three European museums: the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, MuséoParc Alésia, and the Egyptian Museum in Turin. 

The project is scheduled to begin in October 2024 and will unfold over a three-year period. The project is funded by Horizon Europe – an EU framework prorgamme for research and innovation. The project is led by Politecnico di Torino. OPI’s budget has been set to EUR 147,500.

The tasks assigned to OPI will be executed by the Laboratory of Interactive Technologies. They will include:

  • collaboration with project partners regarding the preparation of theoretical frameworks for research
  • development of research tools that facilitate the successful completion of project targets
  • analysis and interpretation of collected data

Subsidies

The project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe project as part of the HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-04 call.
