Preventive conservation involves the use of advanced digital tools and methodologies to monitor and protect cultural heritage from deterioration. Spoke 7 develops early interventions to prevent damage, ensuring the long-term preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.

Anthropogenic hazards arise from human activity such as uncontrolled urbanisation, pollution and war damage. Spoke 7 focuses on strategies to address these threats, taking preventive measures to protect cultural heritage from irreversible damage and promoting sustainable and resilient conservation.

Climate change is a long-term modification in temperature and climate patterns, often accelerated by human activities. Spoke 7 aims to assess and mitigate the impact of these changes on cultural heritage, protecting it from extreme events and deterioration caused by environmental changes.
