https://www.gch2024.eu/) welcomes presentations of
new research, projects, demonstrations and applications that demonstrate how
computer graphics and other digital technologies are impacting Cultural
Heritage (CH) research, preservation and dissemination and promoting
sustainable cultural tourism. Specific sessions will be organised to seek
new challenges and projects involving different stakeholders of the Heritage
ecosystem. Hence, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary approaches are
particularly welcome to the event.
Location
The event aims to engage with practitioners and researchers across the world
working at novel digital technologies and approaches to CH. This year, the
workshop is organized in Darmstadt (Germany) from 16th - 18th September 2024
and will take place in the Hessian Landesmuseum ( <https://www.hlmd.de/en/>
Welcome to the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt - Hessische Landesmuseum
Darmstadt (hlmd.de))
Objectives
The objective of this year's EG GCH is to foster discussion between research
scientists at the crossroads of AI, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, HCI
design, and Digital Heritage researchers, in a collaborative environment
with cultural institutions, scholars in the Cultural Heritage domain and
Creative Industries.
GCH 2024 welcomes presentations of new research, projects, applications and
best practices that show innovative ideas or other advanced digital
technologies involved in CH research, analysis, preservation, simulation,
documentation, dissemination, and promotion. Inter-disciplinary and
multi-disciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to the event.
We encourage the community to participate in the discussions on promises and
concerns about the adoption of AI and reconstruction technologies by
scientists and practitioners in the field of Creative Industries and CH.
For the research community, GCH 2024 will provide an excellent scientific
forum to exchange novel ideas and groundbreaking developments as well as to
identify future research opportunities. For practitioners and students, GCH
2024 will provide a unique opportunity to feed into technical developments
as well as to identify new techniques and ideas which can be transferred
into practice.
Journal Tracks
Like last year, GCH has established agreements with leading journals,
including the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage and the
Elsevier Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Journal.
Hence, we invite authors to submit innovative research via Special Issues in
these journals.

OHC4AwN_VryNlVVI5tN0L6fQ7GT_A$> ACM JOCCH's Special Issue on "Visual
Heritage" focuses on novel computing research for documenting, accessing and
researching cultural heritage, including areas of computer graphics,
computer vision, artificial intelligence, visualisation, human-computer
interfaces, and other visual technologies. Short versions of these papers
will be included in the EG proceedings, while the Special Issue will be
published by December 2024. Authors may find this call at:
