VAST project has become an Associate Partner of the UNCHARTED project with a view to exchange knowledge for supporting, understanding, capturing and fostering the societal value of culture and the impact of cultural policies in Europe. Particularly, the collaboration between VAST and UNCHARTED can be developed on the basis of the promotion of the use and experimentation of digital techniques and tools for the preservation of the common European cultural heritage as well as of the promotion of participatory approaches in culture.

UNCHARTED: Understanding, Capturing and Fostering the Societal Value of Culture is a European H2020 research project that aims to study the emergence of values connected with culture, their configuration and the political impulse that these values could deliver to the society.

 

VAST has been featured in the Greek science magazine Prisma, of Greek newspaper Avgi.gr.

Prisma Magazine highlights the VAST project through its featured article under the title VAST: Exploring the European values across space and time. The article was published on 17 July 2021 and elaborates on the vision of the project and the study of the past and the present of the values.
