Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) has a catalytic role with the Digital Cultural Heritage Lab in organizing the Conference. The Digital Cultural Heritage Lab of CUT, which is world-renowned and unique in its kind, has managed to bring together unique seats worldwide, the UNESCO Headquarters in Digital Cultural Heritage and the newly established European Digital Culture Headquarters Legacy.
The EuroMed Digitization Conferences, succeeded in a short time, to become world-renowned, and gather the interest of leading scientists from all over the world. Significant scientists, international and prestigious, will be present at the Congress this year as keynote speakers, transferring their know-how to Congresses from all over the world.
The 7th Euro-Mediterranean Congress (EuroMed2018) will involve researchers from at least 58 countries of the World and who are responsible for all issues related to the Cultural Heritage today at a global level. In particular, the main objective of the conference is to focus on multidisciplinary research on material and intangible cultural heritage, using state-of-the-art technologies to protect, restore, preserve, mass digitize, document and present its content. At the same time, the event is intended to cover research topics that are very important for the EU itself.
Workshops with Free Participation
The European Commission will organize, with the European Parliament, the 4th, specialized, free-participation workshop on how digital technologies can help to preserve and restore the most important and endangered projects, sites and cultural heritage in Europe. It examines specifically:
- Which technologies should be developed to enable digital copying, and
- which standards need to be agreed so that digitized material is accessible (long-term) to all through a single access point.
The 4th International Research Laboratory for 3D Cultural Heritage Reconstruction focuses on new technologies in Virtual Enhanced Reality, as well as holistic documentation of the past (such as HBIM monuments, etc.).
