The ECHOES family is expanding !
in 2025, 10 new cooperation projects have joined AUTOMATA, HERITALISE and TEXTaiLES in the ECHOES family
What started with ECHOES, laying the foundation for a shared Cultural Heritage Cloud (ECCCH), soon grew into a pioneering group of sister projects: AUTOMATA, HERITALISE, and TEXTaiLES—each exploring new frontiers in AI, digitisation, and heritage interpretation.
Now, following the 2024 Horizon call, the ECHOES family is growing again—with 10 new projects joining the ecosystem!
