META-MUSEUM

Assessment, Interpretation, and Training on the Transformative Power of Cultural Heritage

WP2 is the intellectual engine of the META-MUSEUM project—ensuring that each pilot, digital tool, and public engagement effort is informed by a deep understanding of how cultural heritage can transform the way people see themselves and others. From stakeholder mapping to sample design, assessment models, and educational modules, WP2 sets the stage for meaningful and measurable impact.

Advancements Across META-MUSEUM Work Packages

Our consortium has been working on the core frameworks and technological infrastructure that will underpin all of our research and practical applications. Read on to discover the advancements in assessment models, digital tools, prototyping, and more.

META-MUSEUM Showcases Research at European Conferences

META-MUSEUM consortium partners are actively sharing their cutting-edge research across Europe, reinforcing the project’s commitment to a new, human-centered approach to cultural heritage. In June 2025, our team represented the project at major events in Warsaw, Brussels and Athens.

A group of approximately 20 people is standing in a semi-circle on a gravel path in front of a large, old stone building with two towers. The building has a central arched doorway and several small, dark windows. The group, consisting of men and women, is casually dressed, with some wearing hats and sunglasses. Behind them are manicured hedges and trees, and the sky is overcast.

Reflections on the first try-out of the META MUSEUM training module 

European Museum Academy conducted the very first test of the META-MUSEUM training module, “The Transformative Nature of Cultural Heritage” at the Forum of Slavic Cultures, in cooperation with the Regional Museum Koper and other partners, organized the international summer school of museology Piranova, titled “Expanding Horizons: Echoes of Heritage in the Future of Museums.”

Training modules on Transformative Means Theory in Progress

The European Museum Academy (EMA) is currently developing training modules on the Transformative Means Theory (TMt) in collaboration with the Nordic Centre of Heritage Learning & Creativity (NCK). The project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of TMt and its practical implementation within museum settings. READ MORE…

Ready to start! Status quo measurement set to start on Apr 7th  

POLITO, NCK and OPI-PIB got to the final rush in preparation for the first session of measurements set to star on Apr. 7th in Museo Egizio in Turin. Results provide the base that will be used by the Consortium to study visitors experience and reaction during museum visits and start working on P1 implementation. Neurophysiological monitoring, supervised by UNIROMA1 will be paramount to assess bodily responses and how do these compare to conscious response evaluated through questionnaires. READ MORE…

The reflection of a person's hand holding a smartphone is visible at the bottom, capturing the image. The background includes a desk with papers and objects, suggesting a workspace setting.

User-friendly, easy to use – and yet maximum impact!

Over the past weeks, we in WP4 have been laying some important groundwork on the key aspects of our working package: identifying suitable scenarios and experiences for different museum contexts, possible settings and of course the technical requirements for the development of WP4s prototypes.  READ MORE…

WP3 in Action: Data Storage, Sensor Selection & Synchronization 

Work Package 3 focuses on creating a robust and well-structured database to support the transdisciplinary approach of the project. Our aim is to ensure that different types of data – from sensor data to user-generated content – are collected, stored, and managed efficiently while complying with relevant data standards.
