The EUreka3D Final Conference and Workshop successfully took place with a rich programme of presentations given by the partner and collaborators that contributed to the project. Just the day prior the conference EUreka3D team had a plenary meeting where they had the pleasure to host the Project Officer Diego Lopez Del Rio, who was able to verify the progress of the project and have stimulating conversations and discussions with the members of the Consortium.
On the 13th of December 2024, after a warm welcome from Lluís-Esteve Casellas (Head of Department of Records Management, Archives and Publications at Girona City Council), and David Iglésias (Photoconsortium president and Head of Department of Photography and Audiovisual Records at Girona City Council) Prof. Antonella Fresa (Photoconsortium) and Dr. Marinos Ionannides (UNESCO and ERA Chairs on Digital Cultural Heritage) proceeded to give two inspiring presentations overlooking the scope and main achievement of the project, with a special focus on the value and meaning on preserving cultural heritage.
Following we had a technical session on 3D digitisation with Ignacio Lamata Martinez (EGI) showcasing the EUreka3D Data Hub and Frederik Temmermans (imec) covering topics such as authenticity and standardization of 3D digitization. The four case studies of the project (CRDI, Bibracte, Museo della Carta, CUT) were showcased. Finally, Jolan Wuytz (Europeana) and John Balean (Photoconsortium)’s presentations focused on the potential reuse, the sustainability and the overall impact of the project.
As a conclusion, EUreka3D-XR, continuation project to EUreka3D, was annouced by Antonella Fresa, just before two more presentation on 3D digitization studies and projects from Albert Sierra (Giravolt programme, Generalitat de Catalunya) and Sandra Pujadas (Museu Etnològic del Montseny).
The Conference was followed by a Workshop on strategies for the dissemination of 3D digitisation projects attended by local Cultural Heritage Museums professionals.
