The TEXTaiLES project was proudly represented at Digital Heritage 2025, one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to digital innovation in cultural heritage. 
Aggelos Gkiokas, the Innovation Manager of the project, was featured as one of the three EU projects under the ECHOES cluster. 

Connecting Europe’s Digital Heritage Community: 

The Digital Heritage 2025 conference brought together researchers, professionals, and policymakers from across Europe to discuss the latest advancements in digital archaeology, heritage science, and AI-driven preservation. 
Participants explored how new technologies, including the emerging European Cultural Heritage Cloud, are transforming the way we document, safeguard, and share cultural assets. 

TEXTaiLES’ Contribution to Heritage Innovation: 

As part of the ECHOES cluster, TEXTaiLES contributes to building a shared vision for interoperable digital tools, AI-enhanced analysis, and cross-sector collaboration in heritage preservation. 
Through its interdisciplinary approach, the project demonstrates how machine learning, 3D digitisation, and semantic data exchange can unlock new ways to understand and interpret Europe’s textile heritage. 

A Collaborative Step Toward the Future: 

Events like Digital Heritage 2025 foster meaningful dialogue across Europe’s cultural and scientific communities strengthening the foundations for the Cultural Heritage Cloud and shaping a more inclusive, connected, and innovative future for heritage research. 

TEXTaiLES is honoured to be part of this ongoing discussion, reinforcing the project’s commitment to advancing digital heritage excellence through European collaboration.
