Applications are invited for the ARTEMIS Summer School on Reactive Heritage Digital Twins from the 16th-18th June 2026, at Hof University, Germany.
This two-and-a-half-day in-person training and networking programme is dedicated to Reactive Heritage Digital Twins (RHDT) and their application to cultural heritage conservation, restoration and valorisation. RHDT is an advanced approach that moves beyond static 3D documentation by integrating semantic interoperability, real-time data (IoT/IoCT), simulation services and collaborative AR/VR environments to support monitoring, decision-making and collaborative interpretation across different scales of cultural heritage, including cultural artefacts, historic buildings, archaeological sites and landscapes.
What to expect?
Participants will engage in:
- Keynotes and expert-led sessions on RHDT concepts and workflows
- Lectures on interoperability, semantic modelling, IoT/IoCT integration and simulation services
- Hands-on workshops working in interdisciplinary teams
- Direct engagement with ARTEMIS pilot cases.
What will you gain?
- A clear understanding of the workflow from 3D documentation to simulation and RHDT
- Insight into interoperability and data ecosystems for heritage
- Practical experience in defining scenarios and KPIs for digital heritage applications
- Opportunities to connect with professionals across Europe.
Who should apply?
The Summer School welcomes professionals and researchers from:
- Cultural heritage management and conservation
- Digital humanities and heritage research
- 3D documentation and modelling
- Data infrastructures and interoperability
- IoT/IoCT, simulation and AR/VR.
Participation
Participation is limited to 20 on-site participants to ensure interactive exchange.
Successful applicants will receive accommodation for four nights (15-19 June 2026) and travel reimbursement up to €200 upon submission of valid receipts. Participation in the Summer School is free of charge.
