Summary
EUreka3D is the acronym for European Union’s REKonstructed content in 3D, a project co‑funded by the Digital Europe Programme of the European Union. The publication in your hands, entitled “EUreka3D: Good Practices for the 3D Digitisation of Cultural Heritage” is the final booklet of the project.
The two‑year‑long project started on 1 January 2023 and will finish at the end of 2024. EUreka3D is nearing completion, synthesising results and findings, drawing conclusions, and making recommendations based on the research and outputs arising. The project is thus at the point of reflecting considering how and what the team did (e.g., digitisation pilots, Data Hub implementation, capacity building efforts, networking, collaborations), what went well (and less well), what worked in terms of methods and engagement, and what strategies were employed to mitigate any unexpected challenges. The strength of the knowledge produced is expected to influence the validity and transferability of the results to cultural managers, practitioners at the city/regional level, and policymakers, and to inform future research.
