European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science

Horizon Europe

Acronym: ECHOES

Description

The European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science (ECHOES) project, funded for five years (2024 - 2029) under the Horizon Europe programme, aims to create the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), a European reference platform for tangible and intangible cultural heritage professionals.

ECHOES is led by the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France) and together with the CNR and the FSP (Fondation des Sciences du Patrimoine, France) has formed a consortium of 51 European partners, including: research organisations, networks representing cultural heritage communities (museums, libraries, archives, restoration, etc.), universities and private sector entities.

ECHOES aspires to create the infrastructure and legal entity of the cloud in collaboration with and for cultural heritage communities. ECHOES promotes a holistic approach to digital transformation, encouraging collaborative knowledge construction. Through a transparent governance approach and the application of open science principles (FAIR), ECHOES will also integrate other European and national projects within the cloud.
