3D-4CH

The key objectives of 3D-4CH project include:

1. Advance skills through capacity building: Enhance skills of cultural heritage professionals with online tools, workshops and certifications, integrating multi-language training material from past and ongoing projects;

2. Provide comprehensive services: Create an online platform offering guidelines, standards and best practices for 3D digitisation, fostering innovation in education and tourism;

3. Deploy high-quality 3D content: Support the creation and enhancement of 3D heritage objects within the European data space, focusing on metadata inclusion, publishing, sharing and archiving;

4. Advance R&D in 3D technologies: Foster synergies with initiatives like ECCCH and implement cutting-edge technologies for cultural heritage environments.

The 3D-4CH project will establish an online Competence Centre for 3D heritage, focusing on the preservation, digitisation and knowledge transfer of cultural heritage in the EU and Ukraine. It will build upon past projects like 4CH and 5DCulture, incorporate insights from newly started XRculture and 3DBigDataSpace projects and leverage synergies with the data space for cultural heritage and research infrastructures, such as, E-RIHS and DARIAH.

Special attention will be given to Ukraine, with efforts to build digital capacity for Ukrainian cultural heritage institutions and to aggregate 3D Ukrainian content. To this purpose, the project will build on the work and operate in close cooperation with existing initiatives, such as the 4CH ‘SUM – Save Ukraine Monuments’, SUCHO (Savinge Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online), Museum of Ukrainian Victory and the ENA Working Group on supporting digital cultural heritage of Ukraine.
