The specific deliverable summarizes the material related to the fourth workshop of the ATHENA project entitled as “ATHENA: Remote Sensing and archaeology: future and expectations”. The deliverable includes the overall agenda, the list of participants as well as the presentations carried out during the event. The minutes and the main outcomes of the workshop are also included in this report.

Work package 4 focused on the training and knowledge transfer between the existing personnel of the Remote Sensing Lab of the Cyprus University of Technology and experts from the high performing partners’ institutions. The current deliverable consists precisely of the specific training/knowledge transfer activity of the virtual trainings that have took place throughout the project. The deliverable provides a brief description for each virtual training, all relative information as per topic, participants, date etc. Also, the material produced by each trainer, is also hereunder displayed. The topics of virtual trainings focused on the analysis of hyperspectral images, the use of remote sensing for looting monitoring and the multi-temporal remote sensing analyses. In addition, the fourth virtual training was focused on the Integration of RS data for Cultural Heritage management in the Copernicus Era.

The present deliverable summarizes the outcomes of the second ATHENA workshop and provides all related material, both prior its accomplishment (e.g. agenda) and material such as presentations and list of participants. The second workshop was entitled: “Remote Sensing for Cultural Heritage beyond Europe” and was organised by Prof. R. Lasaponara and Prof. N. Masini from the CNR in Cyprus.

The current deliverable is an overview of the most common remote sensing technologies in use today for archaeology and cultural landscape investigations. Human activities produce landscape alterations and environmental changes that can be recognized also after centuries and millennia even if deposition processes and/or alluvial phenomena tend to mask them continuously. Albeit the traces of “human induced” alterations are generally subtle still they can be revealed by aerial or satellite observations. One of the main advantages of remote sensing techniques is their capability to provide a huge amount of information in a non-invasive, non-destructive way, also protecting and preserving cultural heritage. This report includes also an annex that is a chapter published in a book in press entitled "Sensing the Past" edited by Mansini N., Soldovieri F. (Springer Publisher).

The specific deliverable summarizes the material related to the first workshop of the project entitled as 'Copernicus Contribution to Cultural Heritage'. This include actions prior to the workshop, such as the agenda prepared, as well as material deriving from the workshop per se (such as the presentations that took place), the list of participants etc.
