From 16 to 20 March 2026, the TEXTaiLES project participated in the ECHOES EU Second Annual Event in Poznań, Poland, bringing together key stakeholders from across the European cultural heritage ecosystem. 

The event, organised within the framework of the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), provided an important platform for partners, sister projects, and European Commission representatives to exchange insights, present progress, and align on future developments. 

In this context, the TEXTaiLES Coordinator, George Alexis Ioannakis, participated in the session “Cultural Heritage Cloud ecosystem: Discussion with sister-projects”, contributing to the exchange of knowledge and strengthening collaboration among ECCCH sister initiatives. The session brought together key projects working towards a shared, interoperable ecosystem for cultural heritage, fostering dialogue on integration, collaboration, and future directions. 

The event highlighted the importance of cross-project collaboration in building a more connected, inclusive, and digitally empowered cultural heritage landscape.
