<p>We are pleased to invite you to a midday webinar hosted by <a href="https://heritagemalta.mt/" data-type="link" data-id="https://heritagemalta.mt/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heritage Malta</a> and the UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage at the Cyprus University of Technology, dedicated to the multidisciplinary community engaged in the digital data acquisition of the past.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>During the webinar, we will present the results of a groundbreaking global survey examining the current state of the art in 3D digitisation of cultural heritage. The survey was conducted within the framework of the EU-funded Horizon Europe project <a href="https://heritalise-eccch.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERITALISE</a>, in collaboration with the <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/activities/earchiving" data-type="link" data-id="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/activities/earchiving" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EU eArchiving Initiative</a> and the <a href="https://iiif.io/community/groups/3d/" data-type="link" data-id="https://iiif.io/community/groups/3d/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)</a>.</p>

<p>Offering a real-world, cross-sectoral snapshot, the survey captures how digital data acquisition is being approached across diverse disciplines, institutions, and geographic contexts. Rather than prescribing a single methodology, it highlights the diversity of practices, priorities, and workflows shaping the digitisation of cultural heritage at the beginning of the 21st digital century.</p>
