In the framework of the Twin it! 3D for Europe’s culture campaign and in partnership with the 4CH Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, the Europeana Foundation and the European Commission are pleased to invite you to a series of webinars on 3D digitisation of cultural heritage.

The Twin it! 3D for Europe’s culture webinar series will be delivered by experts of the 4CH, and are especially designed to support the EU Member States in their contribution to the Twin it! campaign. All Twin it! national contact points are warmly invited to join and encouraged to attend the complete series composed of five webinars, which will cover the entire 3D digitisation process. The webinars will address main challenges, operational aspects as well as good practices in 3D digitisation of cultural heritage.

Workshop 1: The overall 3D digitisation process

Focus: Planning the 3D digitisation process; 3D capturing and modelling techniques; Web platforms for 3D models.

Time and date: Tuesday 3 October, 15:00 to 16:00 CEST

Workshop 2: Capturing techniques (on field operations)

Focus: Laser scanning - fixed station and mobile system; aerial and ground photogrammetry; documenting on field operations.

Time and date: Tuesday 24 October, 15:00 to 16:00 CEST

Workshop 3: 3D modelling techniques

Focus: From captured data to a 3D model; processing and optimising the 3D model for the right purpose; 3D formats and standards.

Time and date: Tuesday 7 November, 15:00 to 16:00 CET

Workshop 4: A practical example: the 3D model of Villa Aldrovandi Mazzacorati in Bologna

Focus: Description of phases and final results of the 3D digitization of Villa Aldrovandi Mazzacorati in Bologna

Time and date: Wednesday 15 November 11:00 to 12:00 CET (during the meeting of the Commission Expert Group on the common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage CEDCHE).

Workshop 5: Storing, managing and visualising the 3D models

Focus: Assessing typologies and quality of a 3D-digitised heritage asset; managing metadata and choosing the right data schemas; storing and preserving the 3D models for the future.

Time and date: Tuesday 28 November, 15:00 to 16:00 CET
