AURORA project increases awareness about fighting illicit trafficking of cultural property

Artefacts are constantly threatened by looting, smuggling, and illicit trade. The AURORA project demonstrates how chemical marking, miniaturized device, art deep-scan technique, cloud and blockchain based platforms can be combined to create a cost-effective, non-destructive, and non-invasive countermeasure against illegal activities. BMN as a partner in AURORA presented the project to stakeholders in BiH in November 2023. The discussion resulted with recommendations on fighting smuggling of cultural goods in BiH.
