In the protection of cultural heritage, it is time to reach for the stars by making use of satellite data and earth observation.
The European SATCULT project is laying the foundations for this. It is an invitation to all experts and practitioners from the cultural heritage sector and from earth observation to familiarise themselves with new interdisciplinary possibilities in the protection of cultural heritage and in new cooperation and business fields.
Curious to find out? Then follow SATCULT on the way to the stars!
Three European institutions are preparing innovative vocational training programmes on the use of satellite data for the protection of Europe’s cultural heritage. Expertise in cultural heritage protection and geo-information data will be combined in response to the challenges caused by climate change and war destruction. The aim is to raise awareness of the beneficial opportunities for co-operation in both areas.
New!
The SATCULT Heidelberg Whitepaper is aimed at officials in politics (e.g. members of committees dealing with cultural heritage protection and related fields), decision-makers in the fields of cultural heritage protection and geoinformation, and training institutions in both fields. It articulates seven demands.
The SATCULT brochure with 12 Good Practices in the use of Earth Observation and satellite data is published in English and German. Have a look and enjoy the reading!
The SATCULT surveys for cultural heritage managers and geoinformation experts are open until February 28th, 2026; please participate!
