Upskilling cultural heritage operators

A key objective of the AUTOMATA project is to enhance the skill set of cultural heritage operators by providing them with the necessary training to utilize advanced technologies in their work.

The project recognizes that while the integration of AI, robotics, and advanced digitization tools offers tremendous potential, it also presents challenges for professionals who may not be familiar with these technologies.

AUTOMATA will implement a comprehensive training program that covers the technical aspects of digitization, including the use of robotic systems, 3D scanning technologies, and AI-driven software. This upskilling is crucial for enabling cultural heritage institutions, particularly smaller ones with limited resources, to fully participate in the digitization revolution. By equipping operators with the skills to handle and process digital data, the project fosters a more inclusive and sustainable approach to cultural heritage preservation. This not only improves the efficiency of digitization efforts but also empowers operators to contribute to the global cultural heritage community through the creation of high-quality digital archives​.
