On 23 March 2026 (10:30–13:00 CET, online), the European Commission (DG CONNECT) and the 3D-4CH Online Competence Centre will co-organise a Stakeholder Forum on AI for 3D Digital Twins in Cultural Heritage.

The event takes place under the ApplyAI Strategy and supports the uptake and scaling of AI technologies for highly realistic and accurate 3D digital twins of cultural heritage sites and artefacts across Europe.

“The AI for 3D Digital Twins in Culture Forum will be a great opportunity to advance theuse of AI for 3D digitisation and reuse, while exploring a nd showcasing concrete examples of innovation in the field. I am certain that this Forum will contribute to the next wave of AI-driven 3D digital twins in the European cultural domain, strengthening one of the ten key industry sectors identified to boost AI adoption and supporting the uptake of EU-developed technological solutions.”

— Rehana Schwinninger Ladak, Head of Unit, DG CONNECT

We invite European projects and initiatives ( EU-, national-, regional-funded or self- funded) to submit short presentations (7 minutes).

Thematic Areas

We are seeking up to 9 contributions across the following themes:

● AI for scaling up 3D digitisation & enhancement Accelerating capture workflows, enhancing legacy models, scaling pipelines.

● AI for semantic enrichment & segmentation Automated segmentation, metadata extraction and semantic labelling.

● AI for data visualisation, interpretation, narrative creation & reuse

Analysing and interpreting 3D heritage data to support decision-making and new narratives.

Additional AI-related topics relevant to 3D cultural heritage are also welcome.
