PARTHENOS stands for “Pooling Activities, Resources and Tools for Heritage E-research Networking, Optimization and Synergies”. It is inspired by the name of Athena Parthenos, the Greek goddess of wisdom, inspiration and civilization.
PARTHENOS aims at strengthening the cohesion of research in the broad sector of Linguistic Studies, Humanities, Cultural Heritage, History, Archaeology and related fields through a thematic cluster of European Research Infrastructures, integrating initiatives, e-infrastructures and other world-class infrastructures, and building bridges between different, although tightly, interrelated fields. PARTHENOS has achieved this objective through the definition and support of common standards, the coordination of joint activities, the harmonization of policy definition and implementation, and the development of pooled services and of shared solutions to the same problems
PARTHENOS has addressed and provided common solutions to the definition and implementation of joint policies and solutions for the humanities and linguistic data lifecycle, taking into account the specific needs of the sector that require dedicated design, including provisions for cross-discipline data use and re-use, the implementation of common AAA (authentication, authorization, access) and data curation policies, including long-term preservation; quality criteria and data approval/ certification; IPR management, also addressing sensitive data and privacy issues; foresight studies about innovative methods for the humanities; standardization and interoperability; common tools for data-oriented services such as resource discovery, search services, quality assessment of metadata, annotation of sources; communication activities; and joint training activities. Built around the two ERICs of the sector, DARIAH and CLARIN, and involving all the relevant Integrating Activities projects, PARTHENOS has delivered guidelines, standards, methods, services and tools to be used by its partners and by all the research community. It has exploited commonalities and synergies to optimize the use of resources in related domains.

All services, tools and Knowledge Base developed by PARTHENOS are accessible at Parthenos project’s Portal .
http://www.parthenos-project.eu/portal
Of paramount importance are the:
PARTHENOS Training suite - http://www.parthenos-project.eu/portal/trainingsuite
and the PARTHENOS Standardization Survival Kit (SSK) - http://www.parthenos-project.eu/portal/ssk-2
The PARTHENOS SSK has been designed to support researchers in selecting and using the appropriate standards for their particular disciplines and workflows.
The SSK is an online tool that focuses on giving researchers access to standards in a meaningful way by using research scenarios that cover all the domains of the Humanities, from literature to heritage science, including history, social sciences, linguistics, etc.

The 4CH project aims to set up the methodological, procedural, and organizational framework of a Competence Centre able to seamlessly work with a network of national, regional, and local Cultural Institutions, providing them with advice, support, and services focused on the preservation and conservation of historical monuments and sites.
The Competence Centre promotes a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the conservation of CH and facilitates coordination between Heritage Agencies and CH Institutions across Europe and ongoing European initiatives.
By building an effective partnership, 4CH enables the take-up and transfer of research project results by the cultural heritage sector.
Services and tools to enable preservation and conservation using the latest, most effective technologies will be provided by:
Establishing a map of research and cutting-edge technologies related to preservation, conservation and sustainable promotion of monuments and sites, which will be regularly updated;
- Reporting on the most valuable initiatives, experiences and best practices across Europe and internationally.
- Defining training and upskilling programs for cultural heritage institutions, operators and professionals;
- Developing consultancy, guidelines and protocols concerning the use of ICT with special attention to 3D technologies for management and their integration with monitoring technologies and sensors.

Over the past decades, the use of ultrashort pulsed laser sources for material processing and associated laser-driven physical phenomena has received considerable attention due to the important technological applications, in particular in industry and medicine. Various types of surface structures generated by laser pulses and, more specifically, the so-called laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on solids have been studied extensively. Several laser-driven processes take place to explain the self-organisation-based LIPSS formation. On the other hand, it is evident that the role of polarization and electrodynamics are crucial in the determination of the orientation of the induced periodic structures. In this talk, we will present a detailed discussion of the fundamental physical processes that take place on various timescales following irradiation of conducting materials with femtosecond pulses. The aim is firstly to provide an interpretation of the results observed in the lab through a detailed and consistent theoretical framework and secondly to provide a basis for materials research in various research activities at IESL-FORTH.
