ECHOES’ mission is to set up the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), a shared platform designed to facilitate collaboration among heritage professionals and researchers.
The ECHOES project is structured around four main pillars: Community, Knowledge, Innovation, and Sustainability, with an additional cross-cutting pillar.
The Community pillar focuses on building and organizing the ECCCH community, providing training for the adoption of Digital Commons, or common digital assets. The Knowledge pillar develops the cloud infrastructure for system hosting and organizes knowledge to ensure the digital continuum of managed resources. The Innovation pillar creates vertical applications and ensures the health of the ecosystem through continuous assessment. The Sustainability pillar ensures the long-term sustainability of the cloud. The cross-cutting pillar addresses management, communication, and integration among the various projects.

The activities of GruppoMeta focus primarily on the technical development and integration of the ECHOES platform and one of its vertical applications. Our expertise in digital transformation has been deemed essential for designing and implementing the infrastructure necessary for the ECCCH.
GruppoMeta will also contribute to the creation of tools for enriching and validating metadata, leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to ensure high-quality, accurate, and interoperable metadata across the platform.
Additionally, we will be responsible for developing user interfaces and ensuring the usability of the platform for various stakeholders.
The European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage – Info Day 2024 highlights the launch event of the Horizon Results Booster, a service designed to maximize the impact of research projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. The event included a workshop session aimed at improving dissemination and valorization strategies, promoting synergies among projects, and providing tailored support.
