UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage: Special Webinar on Digital Cultural Heritage
9 May 2020, 14:00-16:00 CET (Central European Time)

To commemorate this year’s Europe Day, a webinar dedicated to Digital Cultural Heritage is being organised. This webinar brings together two of the smallest island nations of the EU – Malta and Cyprus. These are the only EU members in the Mediterranean sea, physically cut off from the main continent with thousands of years of rich history and unique UNESCO listed world heritage sites. Both Mediterranean Islands have a lot in common, they are both committed to preserving and valorizing their cultural heritage. They will present in this event outstanding and unique case studies from their national digitization programs and beyond.

A number of outstanding case studies (UNESCO WHL monuments) from Cyprus, Malta & Germany, as well as current research projects, will be presented, which will take a very practical approach to the current and future challenges in cultural heritage.

Some of the topics being covered in this webinar include:

– the contribution of digitization to the preservation, interpretation and valorization of cultural heritage

– the achievements in cultural heritage digitization in each of these two nations

– the current challenges being faced by cultural Heritage due to the COVID19 pandemic

– ways how cultural heritage can push a regeneration of the tourism sector

– the way forward in terms of harnessing the digital potential in cultural heritage and collaboration on an EU level

When COVID-19 prevented researchers and practitioners from meeting at the scheduled conference to exchange knowledge and experience, we decided to not publish PRO-ceedings, but rather PRE-ceedings. 

The papers aim to answer HTHIC’s leading question: How can tourism destinations succeed in attracting tourists while simultaneously engaging all stakeholders in the conservation of natural and cultural heritage?

We hope that this publication will help you PRE-pare for the time after the pandemic when you will face new challenges and opportunities.

Coronavirus GA2020 Statement 3 – April 2020

Australia ICOMOS and the GA2020 team continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and extend their best wishes to ICOMOS members, their families and to the global cultural heritage community.

Australia ICOMOS is regrettably not able to host the ICOMOS General Assembly in Sydney in October 2020.

The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has reluctantly reached this decision in view of current restrictions and uncertainties about when social and economic life and international travel will return to normal in Australia and worldwide.

Australia ICOMOS will host a ‘marker’ event in October 2020 to acknowledge the enormous support and goodwill shown towards planning GA2020. The form of this event (which may occur online) is yet to be determined.

Australia ICOMOS is currently considering whether it can offer to host the General Assembly in 2023. This is a complex exercise and a final decision will be made and announced during May 2020.

In the meantime, the GA2020 registration process has been suspended, interested parties are being advised, and preparatory activities for 2020 have now ceased.

Australia ICOMOS acknowledges the difficulties that ICOMOS faces in holding its required statutory meetings in 2020, and also that these difficulties will need to be resolved at the International level.

Australia ICOMOS will continue to place the health and safety of delegates and ICOMOS and venue staff at the forefront of our decision making. We will continue to follow the advice of the World Health Organisation and to comply with the requirements of the Australian Government.

Australia ICOMOS remains committed to supporting and enriching the global work of ICOMOS.

Sharing and Showcasing Science Heritage – make a contribution!

Australia ICOMOS has started sharing and showcasing some of Australia’s significant science heritage – the forgotten and invisible, as well as the well-known.

Science heritage is a heritage that is shared across scientific disciplines and technologies and between scientists/technologists and heritage practitioners; it is a shared responsibility that should be shared more broadly with the community. This sharing of knowledge is an excellent fit with this year’s theme for the International Day for Monuments and Sites, Shared Cultures, Shared Heritage, Shared Responsibility.

How will we ‘share and showcase’ Australia’s science heritage?

Australia ICOMOS has created a Science Heritage Showcase page. Some images and summary information about Australia’s science heritage have now been added.

How can you help?

Australia ICOMOS will be relying on scientists/technologists, heritage practitioners and members of the community, ie. you, to populate this page. So, if you have a favourite (or several favourite) science heritage examples (these can be landscapes, places, features, objects or documents) please let us know about them.

For more information about this initiative and guidelines on how to contribute, visit the Science Heritage Showcase page.

“Cultural heritage: new risks, new responses” colloquium, 12-13 November 2020, Paris – call for papers deadline: 30 May

Colloquium of the General Directorate of Heritage of the French Ministry of Culture, in partnership with the CNRS and the Institut national du patrimoine, 12-13 November 2020, Paris.

This event will focus on “new” risks to heritage, understood in the broadest sense, including its physical, intangible, digital and natural dimensions. It will address the risks that have arisen or strengthened since the turn of the century, resulting from natural disasters or intentional or unintended anthropogenic factors, on their acceleration, accumulation, convergence, as well as the responses provided today by the professional community and, more broadly, by all those involved in cultural heritage.

For more information about the call, visit the French Ministry of Culture website. Also see the full call for papers (only in French).

Deadline for submissions: 30 May

CHNT conference, 4-6 November 2020 , Vienna – call for papers, posters and apps: deadline 30 June (note correction from last week)

Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT) conference
Artificial Intelligence : New pathways towards cultural heritage
4-6 November 2020
Vienna, Austria

Call for papers, posters and apps

We know how to digitize our heritage, so what is the next step: making our Cultural Heritage more accessible to the general public / researchers, and even accessible when it is not there anymore.

In recent years, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches has increased rapidly in cultural heritage (CH) management and research. A main driver is the availability of remote sensing data, allowing us to detect new archaeological sites and to monitor the preservation of known monuments. Due to advances in computer power and a wide range of free machine learning tools, large amounts of remote sensing data can be processed automatically for CH purposes instead of covering only small areas by expert inspection

>>More about the theme

More information about the calls are available here for papers and posters and here for the app.

Deadline for submissions: 30 June

The organisers have also started a “Culture = Future” page, for which they invite statements and thoughts from you about colleagues who have lost or will lose their jobs, because there are less excavations, less projects, the money is needed for something else but not for archaeology, museums and cultural heritage – view this and consider submitting your thoughts.

10.2 INTEGRITY | Guest Editor: Jukka Jokilehto

The concept of “integrity” is central to the organizing principles and values of heritage conservation and is frequently evoked in international charters, conventions, and official recommendations. Generally speaking, integrity refers to the wholeness or intactness of a tangible object, place, or property and is a measure by which UNESCO determines the Outstanding Universal Value of a site. As a guiding principle of conservation practice, the concept of integrity has evolved from 19th century ideas of the artist’s intent, which located integrity in a moment in time (Viollet le Duc), to 21st century framings of integrity as an emergent condition as proposed by the 2005 Faro Framework Convention, which suggests that integrity is neither fixed nor static but is understood through a process of interpreting, respecting, and negotiating complex, and at times, contentious values.

Abstracts of 200-300 words are due by 5 June 2020.

For more detailed information, see the CoT_Integrity_CFA_FINAL.
