We were honoured to welcome H.E Martin Hagström, Ambassador of Sweden in Cyprus Embassy of Sweden in Nicosia, to our venue last Friday UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage!
This visit marked his first time at our newly established Research Centre MNEMOSYNE, and his fourth visit since assuming his appointment as Ambassador – a true testament to his continuous support and commitment to our collaboration. It was a great opportunity to share our latest achievements in research (from the DigitalTwin to MemoryTwin), innovation, and development. In particular, we presented the latest results from our 2nd mission of digitisation at the Medelhavsmuseet in Visit Stockholm. This is the first ever digitisation initiative between our two countries and in the world – highlighting the progress and impact of this ground-breaking collaboration.
We were proud to also showcase that all the digitised Cypriot artefacts are meanwhile being modelled, harvested in Europeana, and made available under Open Access, ensuring that this cultural heritage is preserved and accessible to all.
We also underlined the importance of strengthening ties in Science Diplomacy and Cultural Diplomacy between our Cyprus University of Technology / Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου and Sweden, building bridges through knowledge, heritage, and shared values.
Our team showcased ongoing projects, recent findings, and the future MNEMOSYNE goals that are shaping meaningful solutions for Europe, the community and beyond.
We deeply value this exchange and the ambassador’s keen interest in our work. Engagements like this inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and striving for excellence in Digital Heritage Documentation.
A heartfelt thank you to H.E. Mr. Martin Hagström for his time, the visit, the productive meeting and continues support
