The European Cultural Heritage Network (ECHNetwork) is an international content management and information platform to connect researchers and scientists with students and professionals in the field of art conservation and cultural heritage to share and exchange knowledge and technologie on a highly scientific and international level.

Through simple steps project partners can handle uploads and downloads of pictures and diagramms, tables and textfiles to the ECHNetwork server and exchange information with their colleaques and research partners on a national and international level.

Research partners hold maximum control of their data. They can define priveliged groups and members of their project and lock sensitive data away from public.
The platform turns into a secure wide area network and the project partners create a virtual hard drive on the internet to store their documents and results.

Due to the conflation of ongoing research work on an european level, the ePublication of results and milestones of various research projects and the connection with online databases the ECHNetwork can be intensively searched for cultural and scientific information by professionals and students aswell as the interested public.

Using the ECHNetwork you can follow research projects and discuss their results. Search online through databases and ePublications and get in contact with scientists or authors if you wish.

As the ECHNetwork is being used by scientists as a content management platform and used by students and professionals as a source for research, the ECHNetwork interlocks both groups and offers a broader perspective on our cultural heritage.

 

Summary of the advantages and possibilties for
researchers conducting research in the field of
cultural heritage when joining the ECHNetwork:

  • To join and contribute a project to the ECHNetwork all you need is a personal computer and access to the internet.
  • Communicate with your research partners, exchange data and documents in real time and store sensitive data on your virtual harddrive.
  • You get a state of the art online internet presentation of your research work without the need for knowledge in programming languages such as html, xml or java.
  • Create an entire webpresence and ePublications through the ECHNetwork or implement your virtual harddrive of the ECHNetwork Server into your already existing website.
  • Exchange results and information of your research projects with professionals and students in art conservation and cultural heritage to achieve a broader knowledge and understanding of your research and the care for cultural property in general.
