Cultural Heritage: 3D-4CH Winter School
European Commission
The EU-funded Online Competence Centre in 3D for Cultural Heritage(3D-4CH) project is organising a three-day event to bring together cultural heritage professionals from across Europe, including museum professionals and digitisation experts.
The event will focus on the use of 3D technologies in the cultural heritage sector and offer targeted training and capacity building opportunities in the field of 3D cultural heritage.
More information on the event, the detailed programme and the possibility to register can be found on the event page.
The EU-funded Online Competence Centre in 3D for Cultural Heritage(3D-4CH) project is organising a Winter School in Brussels, which will take place from 21 to 23 January 2026 at the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels.
This three-day event will bring together cultural heritage professionals from across Europe, including museum professionals and digitisation experts, for a programme of keynotes, hands-on sessions and collaborative learning, all focused on the use of 3D technologies in the cultural heritage sector.
The Winter School will offer targeted training and capacity building opportunities in the field of 3D cultural heritage, in close cooperation with the Twin it! Part II campaign led by the Europeana Foundation and the European Commission.
As a key training initiative of the 3D-4CH project, the Winter School marks an important step in developing and amplifying a 3D Online Competence Centre: a European hub for expertise, capacity building and professional training in 3D heritage practices.
