Factum Foundation

We are honoured to announce that Factum Foundation has been named a 2026 European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards laureate in the category of Heritage Champions — Europe's most prestigious recognition for outstanding work in cultural heritage, supported by Creative Europe.

Awarded by the European Commission and Europa Nostra, this recognition reflects the full scope of what Factum Foundation does: developing technologies and methodologies for the preservation, study, and dissemination of cultural heritage; designing tools such as the Lucida 3D Scanner and the Selene Photometric Stereo System; producing facsimiles for conservation and display; and supporting the transfer of skills to communities and institutions in Europe and around the world.

This recognition belongs not only to us, but to every collaborator, institution, and team member who has contributed to making this work possible.
