VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France - - Dassault Systemes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) today announced the next act in its "The Only Progress is Human" campaign focused on the themes of heritage and future. "Living Heritage" is a student program that enables current and future generations to experience six UNESCO World Heritage Sites as they may have existed in the past while nurturing skills to innovate for a more sustainable world.

For "Living Heritage", 32 students on six teams from Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the U.S. used Dassault Systemes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to recreate the Colosseum, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Konark Sun Temple, Pompeii, the Porta Nigra and Shuri Castle virtually. Guided by mentors from Dassault Systemes and supported by the company's 3DEXPERIENCE Edu - whose programs help seven million students each year develop in-demand industry skills on Dassault Systemes solutions - the teams quickly adopted the same integrated modelling, simulation, information intelligence and collaboration applications used by industry globally, and created scientifically accurate, data-enriched virtual twins of the sites that open up a new understanding of their structure.

The virtual twins represent both the visible and the invisible, revealing insights into each structure's design, what was partially lost, totally lost or damaged over time, how this design achievement has impacted history, and how it can influence future designs. Empowered with new technical knowledge and know-how gained during the program, the students can apply their skills once they enter the workforce, while the virtual twins can be used by others to teach, study and learn.
