30 Years of visions for the future – Impacts of technology on cultural heritage
Our Open Call aims to uncover the latest insights from both the CHNT and wider scientific, professional and academic communities working in the heritage sector, welcoming new findings to shape an engaging conference at the forefront of contemporary discussions.
Staying true to this mission, CHNT offers a platform for the productive exchange of ideas. CHNT 30 aims to break new ground by leaving the theme of the conference open to ideas on opportunities, challenges and tasks that lie ahead of us in 2025 and beyond. We welcome such works, investigating areas including inventory, research, documentation, conservation, management, dissemination, advocacy and policy-making.
At the same time, we encourage reflections on the impacts of our use of technologies in cultural heritage. In addition, reviews of outcomes or outputs from research presented at the conference in previous years are invited.
Working with and for cultural heritage, the variety of topics is growing every year. We are proud that the CHNT community is diverse, interdisciplinary and represents researchers, professionals (both academic and non-academic), and other stakeholders.
We are looking forward to your proposals about topics of interest to you and provide these seed suggestions:
- Digitisation for Preservation
- Benefits and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence
- Digital Heritage
- Long-Term Data Storage
- Archiving, Data Reuse, FAIR
- Cultural Heritage for All: User-Friendly and Barrier-Free
