EFFORTS and FORTE CULTURA form a great network of fortress monuments. But above all, this is a network of people, of experts from different fields of fortress heritage. When these experts come together and share their best practices and experiences, ground-breaking new ideas and project approaches emerge that contribute to the protection and sustainable use of the cultural heritage of fortified monuments. For this reason, a declaration to establish a Joint Scientific Committee (JSC) as a multidisciplinary pool of experts was signed during the conference at Forte Marghera. The centre of the new JSC of EFFORTS and FORTE CULTURA will be Forte Marghera
