The past three months have been a busy and exciting period for META-MUSEUM, with consortium partners actively representing the project across Europe and beyond.
BEIA led dissemination efforts at nine national and international events, reaching diverse audiences across science and technology, defence, healthcare, agriculture, and cultural heritage. In parallel, UNI JENA brought one of the project’s prototype devices on the road as part of a collaboration with the EU project 3DBigDataSpace, showcasing cultural artefacts as 3D models outside their usual museum habitat. Highlights included a booth at the TwinIT II final event at the European Commission in May, and participation in the Digital Heritage Summit in Cyprus with both a booth and a workshop.
In Turin, the POLITO team visited the world-renowned Museo Egizio — one of META-MUSEUM’s key partners — to present the latest results from the museum experiments. The visit sparked a rich exchange with the museum’s Director and expert team, whose feedback and ideas will directly inform the project’s next phase.
In Rome, the UNIROMA1 team presented findings from the project’s Status Quo Measurement activities at the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (ESCAN) Conference. The team shared results from neurophysiological data collected across museum experiments in Europe, offering the international neuroscience community a window into how cultural heritage experiences shape visitors’ cognitive and emotional responses — and laying the groundwork for upcoming studies in healthcare settings.
Finally, EMA, with support from NCK and POLITO, successfully piloted a beta version of META-MUSEUM’s educational modules at the Forum of Slavic Cultures’ 17th Piranova International Summer School in Koper. The curriculum will soon be shared with students at EMA Summer Schools in Nicosia (Cyprus), Kostanjevica na Krki (Slovenia), and Östersund (Sweden).
