The supporting partners involved in the eHERITAGE project are Jožef Stefan Institute and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa. The Jožef Stefan Institute is the most important research institute in Slovenia, ranked among the top 50 research centers in Europe with respect to European involvement. Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa is a public university that holds a unique position within the Italian higher education system. It is active in the fields of experimental sciences and social sciences and currently aims at developing graduate programs where rigorous traditional courses are combined with opportunities for research, service learning, internships, and entrepreneurship.
