Funded through the ECHOES EU Cascading Grants Programme under the European Union’s Horizon Europe framework, the project will contribute datasets and use cases to the Cultural Heritage Cloud.

SPARRK-UA will provide a flagship model for documenting provenance linked toforced movement in crisis contexts, contributing to European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) ecosystem.

The project supports the preservation of Ukrainian heritage at the peripheries, including the conflict-affected region of Odesa, by publishing AI-ready semantic data provenance for the collections of the Odesa National Fine Arts Museum (ONFAM) and other memory institutions.

The proposal was positively evaluated for its technical sophistication and strategic relevance, recognising the importance of an urgent, ethically governed, AI-ready dataset of international value.

We thank the ECHOES consortium and the Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid for this opportunity, and look forward to sharing the project’s progress in the coming months.

The project reflects Web2Learn’s ongoing commitment to research and innovation that serves access, reuse, and digital engagement. The project is led by Web2Learn team members: Katerina Zourou Andreas Kouzelis, in collaboration with ONFAM partners: Oleksandra Kovalchuk Oleksii Voronko.
