3D cultural heritage

Open Call: €5,000 grants for 3D cultural heritage training activities

Do you have expertise in 3D digital cultural heritage and an idea for turning it into practical, hands-on training?

The 3D-4CH Online Competence Centre in 3D for Cultural Heritage, together with the Time Machine Organisation, is launching a new Training Synergy Call.

Through the call, up to six organisations will receive €5,000 each to design and deliver training workshops that strengthen practical skills in 3D digital cultural heritage and contribute to the growing 3D-4CH training ecosystem.

Proposed activities should align with topics covered by the 3D-4CH curriculum, which addresses the lifecycle of a 3D project from policy and digitisation through data management and reuse.

The call is open to organisations with expertise in 3D digital cultural heritage, including:

  • cultural heritage and GLAM organisations
  • universities and research institutions
  • public bodies and cultural agencies
  • Local Time Machines and Time Machine member organisations
  • private companies and technology providers

Applicants can propose a single workshop or a series of shorter training activities. Workshops should be primarily in person and include a hands-on component. They may also be connected to an existing conference, summer school, heritage festival or similar event.

Collaboration with another organisation is optional but encouraged.
