Heritage for all!

The digital transformation is opening up completely new, previously unimagined possibilities for cultural heritage. This applies not only to scientific research and methods of conservation and restoration, but also to utilisation and accessibility for business and society. We have been committed to this for more than 20 years and look forward to working with you to drive this forward.

The actions of each generation must be directed towards ensuring that the heritage retains its uniqueness and is passed on intact to the next.

Transdisciplinarity

It is only through the interaction of different disciplines that a complete picture emerges that can form a meaningful basis for dealing with our heritage.

Common Good

Cultural heritage enriches people’s lives, and its preservation and utilisation therefore always contributes to the good of society.
