In 2009 CAMOC received a €2,000 award from ICOM for the creation of a web site which would effectively be a virtual museum. The project is linked to Portland State University, Oregon, USA under the direction of Professor Chet Orloff, Nohad Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning at the University, and a member of CAMOC.

The project has been advised by Professor Geoffrey Edwards, Department of Geomantic Sciences, Laval University, Québec, Canada and Marlen Mouliou, Museum and Heritage Curator, Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Adjunct Lecturer at the Universities of Athens and Thessaly, Greece.

The project is linked to the University’s Multimedia Design Programme and its Senior Capstone Programme, and the creation of a virtual museum is a specific course within the Capstone programme. This means that the project is connected to a university which can provide it with academic credibility and enable ideas to be tried and tested at a high level. Students on the programme will be developing content for this virtual museum.

The project is affiliated with the University, but operates on its own and is its own private corporation, separate from, though working in partnership with, the University.
