SummaryCURIA Lab analyzes the transformation and destruction of cultural heritage at scale. It collects data (notably through OSINT and GIS) to measure the impact of conflict, looting, and violence on cultural property and on communities. Its work currently focuses on Syria, Ukraine, and Egypt, and seeks to produce useful information for researchers, NGOs, and decision-makers, in order to document crimes against heritage and to support the pursuit of criminal justice.
