The Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT@Ca' Foscari) of the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) intends to promote the development of new technologies for the analysis, preservation, and protection of Cultural Heritage.
The Centre boasts strong experience in various fields, from computational sciences to material sciences and humanities, to carry out independent and cutting-edge research to expand, improve or move past current approaches.
CCHT focuses on scientific areas that have been poorly, or not yet, explored to implement and enhance existing technologies as well as to create innovative and effective tools capable of responding to the challenges inherent to both tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage.
Moving from the well-known preservation needs of Venice's vulnerable historical heritage, the Centre seeks to advance means and methods of protection applicable to a global context.
