The presentation of the first important results of the European eCHOing project was held at the Leonardo Museum in Vinci. Thanks to this project, the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna intends to make its own contribution to the enhancement of cultural heritage.
The event, organised by Chiara Evangelista, scientific head of the Project for the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, is part of the activities envisaged by the current agreement between Città Di Vinci, the Museum and the Scuola Sant'Anna.


The project Recovery of cultural heritage through higher education-driven open innovation (eCHOing) financed within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme aims to counteract the political, social, ethical and cultural crisis caused by the Covid-19 emergency by updating educational tools and designing innovative and sustainable teaching methods within a socially responsible culture and sees an international collaboration between the School, the Norwegian University Of Sciences And Technology, the University of Sofia (Bulgaria), TARTU University (Estonia) and OSYGY & Web2Learn (Greece).
Two researchers, Eleonora Lanfranco and Gaia Sasso, from the Mixed Reality group of the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence presented the results of their research and development activities in the field of technologies applied to cultural heritage at the Leonardo Museum in Vinci.
