In this contribution, the second video resource in the ARTEMIS project learning series, Federica Maietti (Inception) introduces the relevance of heritage digitisation in relation to risk management and prevention in simulation, restoration, and conservation processes. She provides background knowledge in applying digital tools for cultural heritage. First, she will highlight the risks and issues that currently affect cultural heritage, followed by discussing the most important guidelines and reference documents and policies surrounding heritage risk management and best practices. Second, she will address the needs that digital technologies must meet and showcase what ARTEMIS has to offer in terms of monitoring, managing, simulating and evaluating heritage at risk through the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin (RHDT) framework.
