The main goal of the event is to illustrate the programs underway, whether orga- nized by public bodies (e.g., UNESCO, European Union, national states, etc.) or by privatefoundations(e.g.,GettyFoundation,WorldHeritage Foundation, etc.) inorder topromoteacommonapproachtothetasksofrecording,documenting,protecting,and managing world cultural heritage. The 7th European-Mediterranean Conference (EuroMed2018)was definitely aforum forsharingviews andexperiences, discussing proposals for the optimal attitude as well as the best practice and the ideal technical tools to preserve, document, manage, present/visualize, and disseminate the rich and diverse cultural heritage of mankind. ThisconferencewasheldduringthesecondhalfoftheEUFrameworkProgramme, Horizon 2020, which is the largest in the world in terms of financial support on research, innovation, technological development, and demonstration activities. The awareness of the value and importance of heritage assets have been reflected in the financing of projects since the first Framework Programme for Research and Tech- nological Development (FP1, 1984–1987) and continues into the current HORIZON 2020 that follows FP7 (2007–2013). In the past 35 years, a large community of researchers, experts, and specialists have had the chance to learn and develop the transferable knowledge and skills needed to inform stakeholders, scholars, and stu- dents. Europe has become a leader in heritage documentation, preservation, and pro- tection science, with COST Actions adding value to projects financed within the FP VI Preface and EUREKA program and transferring knowledge to practice and support the development of SMEs. The EuroMed 2018 agenda focused on enhancing and strengthening international and regional cooperation and promoting awareness and tools for future innovative research, development, and applications to protect, preserve, and document the Euro- pean and world cultural heritage. Our ambition was to host an exceptional conference by mobilizing also policy-makers from different EU countries, institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, Council of Europe, UNESCO, International Committee for Monuments and Sites ICOMOS, the International Committee for Documentation of Cultural Heritage CIPA, the International Society for Photogram- metry and Remote Sensing ISPRS, the International Centre for the study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property ICCROM, and the International Committee for Museums ICOM), professionals, as well as participants from all over the world and from different scientific areas of cultural heritage. Protecting, preserving, and presenting our cultural heritage are actions that are frequentlyinterpretedaschangemanagementand/orchangeinthebehaviorofsociety. JointEuropeanandinternationalresearchyieldsascientificbackgroundandsupportfor suchachange.Wearelivinginaperiodcharacterizedbyrapidandremarkablechanges in the environment, in society, and in technology. Natural changes, war conflicts, and man-made interventions and changes, including climate change, as well as techno- logical and societal changes, form an ever-moving and colorful stage and pose a challenge for society. Close cooperation between professionals, policy-makers, and authoritiesinternationallyisnecessaryforresearch,development,andtechnologyinthe field of cultural heritage. Scientific projects in the area of cultural heritage have received national, European Union, or UNESCO funding for more than 30 years. Through financial support and cooperation,majorresultshavebeenachievedandpublishedinpeer-reviewedjournals and conference proceedings with the support of professionals from many countries. The European Conferences on Cultural Heritage research and development and in particular the biennial EuroMed conference have become regular milestones on the never-ending journey of discovery in the search for new knowledge of our common history and its protection and preservation for the generations to come. EuroMed also provides a unique opportunity to present and review results as well as to draw new inspiration. To reach this ambitious goal, the topics covered include experiences in the use of innovative technologies and methods as well as how to take the best advantage to integratetheresultsobtainedsoastobuildupnewtoolsand/orexperiencesaswellas toimprovemethodologiesfordocumenting,managing,preserving,andcommunicating cultural heritage. We present here 97 papers, selected from 537 submissions, which focus on inter- disciplinary and multidisciplinary research concerning cutting-edge cultural heritage informatics, physics, chemistry, and engineering and the use of technology for the representation,documentation,archiving,protection,preservation,andcommunication of cultural heritage knowledge.

We extend our thanks to all authors, speakers, and those persons whose labor, financial support, and encouragement made the EuroMed 2018 event possible. The international Program Committee, whose members represent a cross-section of archaeology, physics, chemistry, civil engineering, computer science, graphics and design, library, archive, and information science, architecture, surveying, history, and museology, worked tenaciously and finished their work on time. The staff of the IT department at the Cyprus University of Technology helped with their local ICT and audiovisual support, especially Mr. Filippos Filippou, Mr. Lefteris Michael, and Mr. Stephanos Mallouris. We would also like to express our gratitude to all the organizations supporting this event and our co-organizers, the European Commission scientific and policy officers of the DG Connect Mr. Albert Gauthier, Mrs. Adelina-Cornelia Dinu, the COST director Dr. Ronald de Bruin, the officers Mrs. Federica Ortelli, Mrs. Estelle Emeriau, the director general of Europeana Mr. Harry Verwayen, the Getty Conservation Institute and World Monuments Fund, theCyprusUniversityofTechnology,theMinistryofEnergy,Commerce,Industryand Tourismespeciallythepermanent secretary anddigital championDr. Stelios Himonas and Mr. Constantinos Karageorgis, the Ministry of Education and Culture and par- ticularly the minister Mr. Kostas Champiaouris, the director of the Cultural Services Mr. Pavlos Paraskevas, the director of the Cypriot National Library Mr. Demetris Nicolaou, the Department of Antiquities in Cyprus, all the members of the Cypriot NationalCommitteeforE-documentationandE-preservationinCulturalHeritage,and finally our corporate sponsors, CableNet Ltd, the Cyprus Tourism Organization, the Cyprus Postal Services, and Dr. Kyriakos Themistokleous from the Cyprus Remote Sensing Society who provided services and gifts of kind that made the conference possible.
