Title: THETIDA - Technologies and methods for improved resilience and sustainable preservation of underwater and coastal cultural heritage

Programme: HORIZON | Funded under HORIZON. 2.2. - Culture, creativity and inclusive society 

Start Date 01/05/2023 - End Date 31/10/2026

The THETIDA project approaches safeguarding and protecting Europe’s coastal and underwater cultural heritage from the effects of climate change and natural hazards in a holistic manner that includes risk management, protection and preparedness, as complementary strategies to prevent damages to cultural heritage sites, identify and ward off additional threats and promote policy tools for climate neutrality and economic resilience in coastal areas.

The THETIDA project seeks to establish a comprehensive preventive conservation strategy focused on underwater and coastal sites. This strategy will encompass monitoring, risk preparedness, and management to effectively identify and mitigate additional threats. Furthermore, it will promote adaptive measures, reconstruction efforts, and other post-disruption strategies to restore normalcy to historic areas. The project will also incorporate long-term strategic approaches to address climate change and utilize policy instruments to bolster economic resilience.

In this project, an interdisciplinary team of researchers, experts and practitioners will develop, test and validate an integrated multiple heritage risk assessment and protection system with evidence-based monitoring frameworks, innovative tools and instruments and through participatory processes (Citizens’ Science and Living Labs). The project implementation actions will link social innovations with cutting-edge technologies
