Message to Unsuccessful Applicants and Broader Community
We extend our sincere thanks to the over 160 Cultural Heritage professionals and students who applied—your enthusiasm and commitment to advancing digital transformation in cultural heritage are highly valued. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of places (30 selected learners), we were unable to accommodate all applicants this time.
We are pleased to say that the keynote elements of each session will be available open to all, via streaming on the ICA YouTube channel (link available in the table above). Whether you applied and were not selected, or you are simply interested in following the presentations and dialogues, you are warmly invited to tune in and engage.
