Museum security project kick-off with the Emilia-Romagna Region

Security and culture go hand in hand with EGIDA PSEM, Dot Beyond's innovative platform, that will be presented on February 12th at the Mediateca Guglielmi in Bologna as part of the museum security project with the Emilia-Romagna Region. An unmissable event that marks the beginning of a journey dedicated to the protection of cultural venues!

What is EGIDA PSEM? It is a digital system designed to simplify the management of emergencies and security in museums. A true protection network that, thanks to this platform, will enable both people and works of art to be secured. Objective? To create a safety culture to protect cultural heritage and give museums the right tools to manage any emergency situation.

Already active a few weeks ago, the project saw the Emilia-Romagna Region launch a call to involve local museums in testing the platform. The initiative has attracted 11 cultural institutions that, for 9 months, will be accompanied step by step in a process of training and continuous assistance.

All eyes are on heritage protection!

Museums are the protagonists of this project:

From the emblematic Francesco Baracca Museum in Lugo to the Malatestian Library Museum in Cesena, passing through the Pinacoteca Il Guercino in Cento, many symbolic places of Emilia-Romagna culture will be part of this experimentation. During the launch event, each museum will have the opportunity to tell its own reality, highlighting strengths, but also challenges related to security.

After the kick-off, experts in the field will join the museums for inspections, practical support and analysis, also involving ICOM Italy's Security and Emergency Commission. The final objective is one: to guarantee operators and visitors total protection from any risk.
