EU-CHIC European Cultural Heritage Identity Card (FP7-ENV-2008-1 ID: 226995)

Aim of the EU CHIC project is to develop a strategy and select most efficient methods and tools for harmonization of criteria and indicators to be addressed for tracking environmental changes of tangible cultural heritage assets, buildings and monuments, including "natural" deterioration processes and human interventions. Final achievement of the EU CHIC project, after further dissemination activities, will provide new procedures for cultural heritage conservation and harmonization of criteria for future adaptation of heritage to new requirements. This important issue, involving common policies, should be faced at European level. EU CHIC as a support action developed with a totally novel approach, will aim at contributing to preparation of future Community research and technological development that should be established at the European level and will benefit from synergies created from the collaboration between European partnerships.
