NETCONNECT
NetConnect: Project Concept
“Connecting European Culture through New Technology” - NETConnect is a project promoted by Culture 2000’s European Programme. It concerns the definition of cultural interconnections amongst three archaeological sites in Italy, Germany, and Poland. NETConnect foresees the digital reconstruction of the sites, the diffusion of multimedia contents and the use of GIS technology for providing geographical information about the scenarios. The project will run for 36 months from 2006 to 2009.
The team, headed up by Prof. Piero A. Bertacchini of the University of Calabria, comprises
three archaeological institutions and four technology institutions. The project runs from
October 2006 to September 2009.
The main objectives of the project are the following:
The sharing and highlighting of common cultural heritage which is of European significance; the use of state-of-the-art technology to make European heritage more visible and accessible; the improvement of access and participation in culture and in new technologies for all citizens of the EU, cooperative activities between cultural operators and technological experts for spreading European culture through the newly established International network.
