Call for Applications / Online Training Programme – Driving Digital Transformation in Cultural Heritage Institutions

Following the success of two webinar series co-organized in 2023–2024 by the EUreka3D consortium, Photoconsortium, and the International Council on Archives (ICA), the 2025 edition introduces a new Online Training Programme aimed at deepening both knowledge and practical skills for cultural heritage professionals. 

The training is made up of three online sessions, each two hours long and hosted in English. Each session is divided into two parts. 

• A keynote presentation by leading experts from various domains, open to a broad audience; 

• An interactive working session, designed for a selected group of learners, offering a space for discussion, engagement, and peer exchange. 

Participants selected for the full programme (30 places available) will have the opportunity to engage directly with internationally renowned experts, share experiences with peers, and earn a certificate of participation (upon full attendance of all sessions). 

This programme is intended to foster strategic thinking, collaborative learning, and applied knowledge in digital transformation across the cultural heritage sector. 

Topics covered include: 

• Heritage policies and digital strategies 

• The impact and transformative power of Digital Cultural Heritage 

• Best practices in creation, access, and reuse of digital content 

All sessions take place from 15:00–17:00 CET (Paris time).
