Online courses, openly accessible for free
The EUreka3D Initiative curated three self-paced courses published on the Europeana Training Platform, dedicated to Cultural Heritage professionals and other learners who are embarking in a new journey with 3D digitisation and extended reality projects.
Developed by domain experts, and complemented with self-assessment exercises, resources and additional readings, the courses provide the foundation for understanding 3D and XR in cultural heritage, its complexity and the elements that influence the quality of the end result, and discovering how XR technology and tools can help innovation in cultural heritage and user engagement.

Introduction to XR for cultural heritage. Course on Europeana Training Platform
Extended Reality (XR) is creating new opportunities for museums, archives, libraries, archaeological sites and other cultural heritage organisations to present, interpret, and share heritage in engaging ways. By combining high-quality digital assets with immersive technologies, XR can help audiences explore lost monuments, visualise hidden archaeological remains, interact with virtual guides, and experience cultural heritage beyond the limitations of traditional interpretation.
This introductory course, developed as part of the EUreka3D-XR project, provides a foundation for understanding XR and its applications in cultural heritage. You will explore the core concepts of Extended Reality, discover why XR matters for heritage, and become familiar with the EUreka3D-XR ecosystem and the tools that support the creation of XR experiences.
