Heritage ecosystem. Hence, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approaches are particularly welcome to the event. A groundbreaking public
exhibition of cutting-edge digital heritage projects will also be set up.
Following the successful format of the previous editions, the conference
will have a single call for papers and a coordinated scientific review
process.
The 30th International Conference on 3D Web Technology,
<https://web3d.siggraph.org/2025/> Web3D 2025 will take place as of 9 - 10
September 2025, is the major annual event for the 3D Web community,

Digital Heritage 2025
Location
In 2025 the Congress is organised in Siena (Italy), one of the most
important cities in mediaeval Europe. The whole city, with its iconic Piazza
del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding
landscape.
Objectives
We are seeking original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions
in theoretical or applied Digital Heritage domains. All papers will have a
blind peer review by the International Programme Committee (IPC). The IPC
seeks for every submission at least one "digital" and one
"heritage" reviewer to ensure a rich diversity of accepted works spanning
both technology and humanities. All submissions will be reviewed for
originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Each submission
shall indicate the specific Digital Heritage 2025 Track that is relevant to
the submission (see below "Tracks and Special Sessions"). You can submit
full or short papers, special sessions (tutorials, workshops and panels),
and exhibitions (follow dedicated "call for exhibits").
