Initial project description.

Dissemination is an integral part of the project, both in terms of publication of the achieved scientific results and promotion of the SMEs involved in the project. In the first year dissemination has focused on creating an awareness of the project primarily within the partner’s respective fields of academia and cultural heritage in general. To this end partners have presented overviews and specific elements of the project at numerous conferences many of which will be published in the relevant conference proceedings (*).

As has been noted previously the outcomes of the project will be published in two guidelines in 2015. A seminar / workshop is also planned for the final year of the project so interested parties can hear more about the results and see the tools developed within the project. The project home page, www.sasmap.eu is a key portal to the developments in the project and will be updated as significant results are achieved; photos, videos and other documentation from this year’s field work are currently being edited and will be uploaded onto the home page in the near future.
