EUreka3D-XR webinar series
22 and 30 April 2026, 14.30 – 16h CEST
The EUreka3D and EUreka3D-XR projects have built strong expertise across the full lifecycle of 3D cultural heritage data — from digitisation and processing to preservation, publication and reuse in advanced 3D and XR applications. As EUreka3D-XR concludes in July 2026, a new webinar series brought together the key results of both projects and presented them in a clear, practical and accessible way.
This series offered a complete overview of how 3D data can be created, managed and reused sustainably. It connected technical, policy and practical perspectives, drawing on real tools, workflows and infrastructures developed within the projects, and aligned them with Europeana policies and the common European data space for cultural heritage.
Through two focused sessions, participants explored the full journey of 3D data in cultural heritage, supported by concrete examples and guidance. The webinars were designed to help professionals make informed decisions at each stage of the lifecycle, understand relevant standards and challenges, and apply project results in their own contexts. They also highlighted long-term resources such as the EUreka3D Data Hub, guidelines, training materials and XR tools.
The series was aimed at cultural heritage professionals, including those working in museums, archives, libraries and heritage sites, as well as digitisation specialists, researchers, educators, XR practitioners and stakeholders involved in Europeana and related infrastructures.
By the end of the webinars, participants gained a comprehensive understanding of the 3D data lifecycle, discovered practical tools and resources, and learnt how open access and public domain principles can support innovation in 3D and XR.
