“Strengthening cultural heritage through digitalisation: Insights into the Adriatic area’ is the name of the online conference organised on 24 June by the participants of as many as five cross-border projects: TEMPUS, ECOMAP, MADE-IN-LAND, RECOLOR and REVIVAL financed from the EU programme INTERREG V A ITALY-CROATIA. On this occasion, project partners from both countries, Italy and Croatia, will promote the use of IT technologies in virtual visits to cultural institutions.
The event presents different approaches and methods focused on how the Adriatic regions can improve and valorise their cultural heritage thanks to information technology tools. Since 2001, the mass digitisation campaign has been promoting the creation of collections of European, national and thematic digital repositories belonging to EU galleries, libraries, archives and museums.
The conference will address digitalisation in various its forms, such as augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence and opportunities to improve the cultural sector through the use of digitalisation, sustainable and innovative technologies to improve marine and coastal areas, possibilities to use existing projects to strengthen the potential of cultural heritage, connecting tourist visitors and small businesses through smart solutions and new tools, and tools to revive and improve the heritage and landscape of the Adriatic region. A virtual tour of the forgotten heritage will also be organised and a virtual exhibition created to encourage new entrepreneurial ideas and a virtual experience called “Diocletian’s Dream” will be presented.
Although IT cannot replace the emotion of a direct visit to a cultural site, it can improve the visitor experience, support people who cannot travel, facilitate collaborative research of scientists working in different laboratories, and facilitate the preservation and restoration of ancient artifacts.
On the webinar, project participants will present the adopted technological solutions according to this Schedule, and you can join via these links 24 June 2021, 10.30 a.m.
The TEMPUS project – Temporary Applications as an Initial Action for the Improvement of Port (No) Material Heritage – brings together nine partners from Croatia and Italy with the aim of restoring abandoned urban port areas while respecting the cultural heritage and community customs of three pilot areas: Ravenna, Solin and Rivers.
