We are pleased to invite you to a midday webinar in cooperation with Heritage Malta, the IIIF, the EU eArchiving Initiative, and the newly established Research Centre on Digital Cultural Heritage at Cyprus University of Technology to present the final results of the 2025 Worldwide Survey on 3D Data Acquisition and Digitisation in Cultural Heritage to be held on online, Thursday, 22 January 2026, 13:30–14:30 CET and is offered free of charge.
This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in a field of critical importance to Humanity, focusing on the documentation, protection, preservation, and use and re-use of cultural heritage data, metadata and paradata. It further offers a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of this domain, clearly articulating the necessity of digitising the past.
The results demonstrate how cultural heritage digitisation contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), while simultaneously advancing scientific knowledge, supporting evidence-based heritage management, and creating long-term value for future generations.
Moreover, the event seeks to reassess current knowledge and to articulate a clear framework for interdisciplinary collaboration, highlighting how diverse professional communities must work together to ensure the effective safeguarding and sustainable management of the material and immaterial legacy of our past.
We look forward to see online!
