EuroMed2026 – 11th International Euro-Mediterranean Conference on Digital Heritage is a leading international academic and professional gathering focused on digital approaches to cultural heritage, bringing together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, technologists, and heritage professionals from around the Euro-Mediterranean region and beyond.
Scheduled to take place from 24–30 May 2026 at the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol, Cyprus, the conference serves as a central forum to explore how cutting-edge digital technologies and interdisciplinary research are applied to the documentation, preservation, conservation, presentation and interpretation of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
EuroMed conferences have a long history as biannual international events organized by the UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage and the Digital Heritage Research Lab at the Cyprus University of Technology. They traditionally attract professionals from academia, industry, cultural institutions, government bodies and international organisations working on digital heritage challenges and innovations.
During the event, participants can expect:
-
Scientific presentations and keynote talks showcasing the latest research, methodologies, and case studies in digital cultural heritage.
-
Workshops, demonstrations, and poster sessions highlighting practical applications and emerging technologies, such as 3D digitisation, AI, virtual/augmented reality, metadata standards, and immersive experiences.
-
Networking opportunities with scholars, technologists, cultural heritage managers and policymakers who are shaping the future of digital preservation and heritage interpretation across Europe and the Mediterranean.
The theme of EuroMed typically emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration — linking computer science, archaeology, conservation science, museum studies, and digital humanities — with a shared goal of enhancing how cultural heritage is recorded, conserved, shared and experienced in the digital age.
“As digital technologies continue to transform how cultural heritage is documented, experienced, and shared, EuroMed2026 provides a vital platform to connect practitioners, researchers and innovators,” said the event’s organising committee. “We look forward to welcoming participants from across the globe to collaborate, learn, and contribute to the future of heritage in the digital age.”
