The HERACLES project is designing and testing a systems-based approach for protecting cultural heritage in the face of climate change. It is developing systematic methods of identifying, assessing and evaluating the risks a monument might face and incorporating these into an online ICT platform. As well as the risks, the platform will also offer information on both preventative measures as well as remediation measures when damage has already occurred.

When completed, HERACLES will be a resource for a variety of users, including conservators, municipalities, town planners, government agencies and companies – all those responsible for cultural heritage and involved in its preservation.
