2 management plans were developed as well, one for raising the level of awareness and one for preservation and conservation of Roman historical and archaeological locations.

All three documents are available on the project website:  https://www.archiverobg.eu/en/documents.

16 Roman sites from the Ro-Bg cross-border area were further digitalized.

3D digital models of artifacts and objects were created and are available at the permanent exhibitions established at the headquarters of B2 and B3.

An interactive web-based information platform was created and is available at www.romanforts.eu.

-The RomanForts mobile application was developed and is available for free download from the Android and iOS app stores.

 To achieve these results, specialized equipment was purchased by the project partners including 3D printers, 3D scanners, drones, professional video cameras and others.

Informative materials were designed, produced and distributed among the participants to the project events.

Two training events have been conducted with a focus on Unmanned aerial vehicles (March 2017 in Constanta) and on 3D scanning and printing technologies (April 2017 in Ruse). The possibilities to implement these technologies for the digitalization, visualization and popularisation of the ancient Roman cultural heritage were presented to the general public and the project target groups.
