A new video has been released featuring a CNN interview with members of the STAND4HERITAGE team. The interview highlights the project’s efforts to develop improved seismic assessment methods for built cultural heritage, as the project moves toward completion later this year.

In the interview, the team explains the motivations behind STAND4HERITAGE, focusing on the challenges of assessing historic masonry structures and the need for more representative seismic evaluation tools. They also describe how the project combines advanced simulations, experimental insights, and analytical developments to better understand structural behaviour during earthquakes.

The CNN coverage emphasizes the relevance of this work for protecting vulnerable heritage assets and supporting decision-makers involved in preservation and risk mitigation.
