The Conference on Digital Cultural Heritage in Europe covers a wide range of topical issues related to the preservation, digitization and digital promotion of cultural heritage. We have gathered experts from all over the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by new technologies in this field. Below are the key ones.
Digitization of cultural heritage
One of the main objectives of the conference is to discuss best practices and technologies that enable the digital preservation of cultural objects. Participants will be able to learn about the latest advances in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and other technologies that make detailed digital replication of historical artifacts, buildings, and works of art possible.
Long-term storage and management of digital data
The digitalization of heritage is not only the process of creating digital copies, but also preserving them for years to come. This track will discuss strategies and technologies that securely store and protect digital data from loss and obsolescence.
Utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence and machine learning play a key role in the preservation and study of cultural heritage. These technologies make it possible to analyze vast amounts of data, recover lost fragments, and even predict the evolution of cultural phenomena.
Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR)
Virtual and augmented reality technologies open up new possibilities for representing cultural heritage. They allow not only to recreate lost objects, but also to create interactive educational programs that can attract a wide audience to culture.
Digital art and cultural innovation
Contemporary artists and creative industries are actively using digital technologies to create new art forms and represent cultural heritage. This strand of the conference will explore innovative projects at the intersection of art, culture and technology.
Policies and standards for digital heritage
The development of digital cultural heritage requires clear policies and standards that regulate digitization, data management and accessibility of cultural objects. In this track, experts will discuss existing regulations, international agreements and future initiatives to facilitate access to digital heritage.
Education and accessibility of digital cultural heritage
One of the key objectives of the conference is to discuss the accessibility of cultural heritage to a wide audience through digital platforms and educational programs. Education and digital experts will share their experience in developing interactive courses, mobile applications and other solutions that make cultural heritage accessible to all.
International cooperation and partnerships
The preservation and promotion of cultural heritage requires close cooperation between countries and cultural institutions. International cooperation plays a key role in the exchange of experience and implementation of large-scale projects. Successful cases of international cooperation and partnerships are discussed in this track.
These thematic tracks cover all key aspects of digital cultural heritage, from digitization technologies to international standards and cooperation. We invite conference participants to dive into these important and promising topics to jointly find new ways to preserve Europe’s cultural heritage in the digital age.
