3D Heritage Innovators Exchange 2024
UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage in collaboration with Heritage Malta invites students, researchers, practitioners, experts, and enthusiasts working in the areas of cultural heritage, architecture, civil engineering, digital humanities, data science, and technology to participate in an important initiative advancing data acquisition and digital documentation in cultural heritage.
About the Initiative
As cultural heritage globally faces various threats—from environmental changes to human impact—there is an urgent need for innovative digital approaches to document, preserve, and share our rich cultural legacy. This initiative focuses on cutting-edge 3D scanning, photogrammetry, digital documentation, 3D modelling, and data management approaches to record, protect, and promote access to artefacts, sites, and intangible heritage.
The UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage at the Cyprus University of Technology, in collaboration with Heritage Malta, will hold an intensive three-day training workshop on “Data Acquisition & Digital Documentation in Cultural Heritage” from the 5th to the 7th of December 2024.
Participants will work on the Church of Panagia Aimatousa, Aradippou, Cyprus, digitising the exterior and interior of the monument and smaller-scale ecclesiastical artefacts, including Byzantine icons and other key liturgical objects. Digitisation will be conducted using the recommendations of the EU Study VIGIE2020/654 on quality in 3D digitisation of tangible cultural heritage.
This training workshop is free of charge, but spaces are limited. Participants are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, food and beverage arrangements.
