The MEDICI Framework (Multimedia for EDucation and employment through Integrated Cultural Initiatives) is a framework of co-operation established in 1995 adopted and supported by the European Commission (1997).The goal of MEDICI is to promote the use of advanced technologies for access to, understanding, preservation and economic promotion of culture. Main action lines are: information sharing, research projects, education & training.
The use of advanced technologies allows the achievement of goals of important cultural value, which are impossible with traditional tools. This will lead us to a fuller understanding of our culture. And of course any form of economic exploitation must take fully into account the primordial need for preservation of the cultural heritage, for future generations.
