BCThubs is developing innovative Research & Innovation (R&I) solutions to enhance the protection, preservation, and accessibility of Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH), which includes shipwrecks, submerged settlements, historic coastal structures, and maritime traditions. By combining cutting-edge technologies such as underwater mapping, sampling, and 3D reconstruction with immersive virtual and augmented reality applications, BCThubs aims to support archaeological research and offer interactive exploration experiences.

The initiative also integrates real-time monitoring systems to safeguard diving conditions while addressing global challenges like climate change, marine pollution, and destructive human activities such as uncontrolled trawling. Through the development of the Blue Culture Technologies (BCTs), BCThubs seeks to sustainable management and conservation of UCH, bridging key technological and methodological gaps for researchers, cultural institutions, and the wider public.
