Venice’s vice mayor, Mr. Andrea Tomaello kicked off the 2^nd half of the event, pointing out the importance of HYPERION’s results on the survival of Venice’s cultural heritage monuments and the city’s sustainability.

During the event, a series of interactive presentations and demonstrations took place showcasing HYPERION results and presenting for the 1^st time the integrated resilience assessment platform, developed during the project’s course. The platform will help local authorities representatives and cultural heritage managers to gain a better understanding of the threats and dangers of tangible Cultural Heritage sites and make decisions for a swifter and more effective response, contributing to the sustainable reorganization of the historical regions under threat.
