Activity type: Transfer of knowledge, Communication and Dissemination

 

Leader: Poul Holm (TCD)

 

Sub-leader: Isa Pais (APCM)

 

Partner organizations:

TCD, NOVA FCSH (Portugal), ODU (USA), Uninorte (Colombia), APCM (Portugal) and IPC (Cape Verde), OMA (Portugal), EVEHA (France), MARAPA (San Tome and Principe).

 

Objectives:

In WP7 an integration of all the obtained information and data from previous WP will be conducted. All the multidisciplinary approaches to the study of maritime cultural landscapes (including the spatial data related to marine resources exploitation) will be put into practice. The main objectives of WP7 is to translate scientific and historical information into digital means of visualizations. This may be done through the construction of digital cartography with related information on historical and archaeological events (GIS), or the construction of visual/digital products such as infographs or short informational videos. The production of digital elements will also allow the integration of a large amount of data and of distinct types of information, in terms of its content, chronology and geographical scale. All the products will be allocated in the project website as well as in the websites of the partners’ institutions and projects. They will be produced in English, Spanish and Portuguese allowing the dissemination in the different countries and are expected to reach both scientific audiences as the public at large.
