65 Center of Excellence- ATHENA Remote Sensing Archaeology Linked with Smart Investigation of Cyprus With CNR & DLR
ATHENA Remote Sensing Science Center for Cultural Heritage In periods of economic instability, national considerations are overruling the process of European integration. Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of a European set of values and respect for heritage is vital for developing a common European identity. The Centre aims to be in close collaboration with both national as well international research institutes and stakeholders, providing integrated remote sensing services and solutions in the area of the Eastern Mediterranean. The new perspectives on archaeological and cultural heritage in the region will position ATHENA as a centre of knowledge and a standard lab in the field of Remote Sensing Archaeology.
Funding Sources: new proposals • Attract more funds from … Industry • Continue having a dynamic, multi- disciplinary, and challenging environment for research of the highest international standard. • Continue strong interactions with industry and establish new initiatives. • To commercialize research and innovation.

    ATHENA Remote Sensing ScienceCenter for Cultural Heritage In periods of economic instability, national considerations are overruling the process of European integration. Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of a European set of values and respect for heritage is vital for developing a common European identity. The Centre aims to be in close collaboration with both national as well international research institutes and stakeholders, providing integrated remote sensing services and solutions in the area of the Eastern Mediterranean. The new perspectives on archaeological and cultural heritage in the region will position ATHENA as a centre of knowledge and a standard lab in the field of Remote Sensing Archaeology.
