Introduction of EXCALIBUR in ECCCH ecosystem

The EXCALIBUR project participated in the webinar: “The European Collaborative Cultural Heritage Cloud in Action: Join us to explore the latest update”, which was organised by the Directorate General for Research and Innovation, on Monday, 1st of December, 2025.

The EXCALIBUR project was presented by Dr. Eleftherios Anastasovitis, member of the Coordinator team of the Brain, Health & Virtual Reality (BHV) Research Group [1], at CERTH-ITI. The overview of the project was briefly described, presenting the main use cases and objectives of EXCALIBUR. 

Dr. Anastasovitis emphasised the innovative toolkits of the project through the interdisciplinary collaboration of the EXCALIBUR consortium that consists of 14 partners. The toolkits will be developed in full alignment with the requirements and directions of the Cultural Heritage Cloud. Moreover, Dr. Anastasovitis highlighted the future involvement of the European Cultural Heritage community with the outcomes of EXCALIBUR, through the Open Call of the project.

Our next steps include intensive work with the ECHOES Integration Task Force (EITF) and enhancing the collaboration with the ECCCH ecosystem and sister projects.
