Digital Ecosystems for Heritage 4.0 is a three-day international symposium combining two major conference series into a single forum. The event aims to serve as both a scientific meeting and a framework for long-term cooperation in the field of digital cultural heritage.
About the Symposium
The symposium is organized by CHEDAR (Cultural Heritage Digitalization and Resilience project), with the support of ICOMOS Italia and CIPA Heritage Documentation. The event marks a new phase in the joint organization of two established conference series, GEORES (Geomatics and Restoration) and Arqueológica 2.0, within an expanded and integrated framework.
It is conceived as part of a broader international research initiative, connecting academic institutions, heritage professionals, and policy actors.
Format and Objectives
The event is structured as a three-day international symposium, designed not only as a conference but as a “strategic laboratory” for collaboration and co-design.
Its main objectives are to:
- Foster interdisciplinary dialogue across heritage, technology, and policy fields
- Develop shared guidelines and operational frameworks
- Contribute to a long-term international roadmap for Heritage 4.0
- Connect research, training, and professional practice within a unified platform
Programme Structure
The symposium programme is organized into thematic tracks and special sessions, structuring presentations and discussions across the three days. These include:
- Museums and digital transformation (accessibility, hybrid experiences)
- Digital twins and computational models
- Risk, monitoring, and resilience strategies
- Artificial intelligence, governance, and ethics
- Training, skills, and emerging professional profiles
The format encourages cross-disciplinary exchange, combining academic papers, applied case studies, as well as collaborative discussions.
Participation and Registration
The symposium is open to an international audience of researchers, professionals, and institutions.
Registration is available through the official website.
Reduced fees are offered for PhD students.
