ARTEMIS Summer School

Hof University (Germany)

16-18
June 2026

The ARTEMIS Summer School 2026 is a two-and-a-half-day in-person training and networking programme dedicated to Reactive Heritage Digital Twins (RHDT) and their application to cultural heritage conservation, restoration and valorisation.

The 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.

A digital illustration depicting a fusion of past and future: the Colosseum in Rome is represented half in its original, ancient and ruined form, and half as a cybernetic-style virtual reconstruction with bright lines and digitized details. In the background, other classical ruins merge with futuristic elements and digital interfaces suspended in the air, evoking an idea of ​​virtual reconstruction of history through technology.

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

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 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.

A grand Gothic cathedral being virtualized into a digital twin. The image shows the cathedral partially transforming into a futuristic holographic blue.
Digital representation of a museum or classical palace in wireframe style, with imposing columns and numerous statues on pedestals. The blue glowing structure highlights the architectural and artistic details, creating a futuristic effect in an immersive environment.
Digital modeling of an ancient amphora with a luminous wireframe structure. The surface of the vase combines classic details with a network of luminous lines and dots, creating a futuristic and technological effect on a dark background.
