The 5th International Symposium on Cultural Heritage Conservation and Digitization (CHCD 2018) is launching the 2nd Digital Heritage Best Practice Competition to promote the relationship between digital heritage and the advancement of cultural heritage business and technology with regard to product innovation, production, and application.
The 5th International Symposium on Cultural Heritage Conservation and Digitization (CHCD 2018) will be organised in Beijing from the 12th to the 16th of September 2018 by the THID Tsinghua Heritage Institution for Digitalization. So far, this biannual event has attracted experts from over 30 countries and regions promoting a tradition of international collaboration and exchange on the theme of cultural heritage, digital technologies, conservation and digitisation.
From the 23rd of July to the 1st of August 2018, the Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy) organises its 7th summer school on surveying cultural heritage. This course, which takes place at the Sacred Mount Calvary of Domodossola in Italy, will allow students to get into contact with the practical and theoretical aspects of documenting and managing cultural heritage. Although this summer school is not organised by CIPA, many of the tutors also teach during the annual CIPA summer schools.
CIPA is happy to announce its 5th Heritage Documentation Summer School on “Cultural Heritage 3D Surveying and Modelling” which will take place from 15-21 July 2018 in Zadar, Croatia. As with the past four editions, this summer school will consist of theoretical lectures (on photogrammetry/computer vision, laser scanning, photography and total station survey) and practical work, in the field and in the lab.
CIPA wants to draw your attention to the newly established Tech4Culture, a doctoral programme that is specifically focused on technologies applied to cultural heritage. The program is organised by the University of Torino (Italy), with the support of the European Commission and the banking foundation Compagnia di San Paolo. All information about Tech4Culutre can be found on the official webpage.

Dear colleagues,
we would be highly appreciated if you could spend 15-20 minutes of your valuable time and respond to a survey to identify stakeholders and demands in the field of digital cultural heritage.
The survey is conducted under auspices of major institutions as Europeana Foundation, ICCROM, NEMO, CIPA and INTERPOL by the Virtual Multimodal Museum (ViMM) Coordination and Support Action (CSA), funded under the EU Horizon 2020 programme (CULT-COOP-8-2016). ViMM brings together leading European and international public and private sector organisations working on Virtual Museums and the wide sector of Digital Cultural Heritage to support access to high quality information and documentation to support policy development and decision making through the use of technical advances.
Thank you very much in advance!

Dear colleagues,
It will be highly appreciated if you can take the time and contribute actively in the following survey and/or to post it in your social media and forward it to your networks/email lists. The survey is all about the current digital 3D e-documentation and preservation in Europe and especially at the EU digital Heritage Library: Europeana.

Best Regards,
Dr. Marinos Ioannides
Dear colleague,
Register on our platform and join the Group of Experts.

ViMM brings together Europe and the world’s leading public and private sector organisations working on Virtual Museums and in the wide sector of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) to support high quality policy development, decision making and the use of technical advances. The partner consortium will be supported by an expert Advisory Group in building the ViMM Framework, involving decision-makers and practitioners in defining and resolving issues spread across 7 interlinked Thematic Areas (‘the 7 Ds’): Definitions, Directions, Documentation, Dimensions, Demand, Discovery and Decisions.
In October 2016, CIPA organised a design competition to come up with a new, more up-to-date logo for our organisation. Despite the wide variety of designs send in by the many participants, no logo fully met all the expectations of the CIPA Executive Board. However, CIPA felt that three entries stood out and therefore rewarded their creators with a free registration for the CIPA 2017 Symposium (see this news item).
