On May 29, Photoconsortium and the Historical Archives of The European Union, in collaboration with the projects EUreka3D-XR organised and successfully held “Photography and archives: discovery, technology and innovation” conference at the beautiful Villa Salviati (Florence).

The conference was articulated in three panels on Heritage, Technology, and Innovation, and aimed to explore the landscape of technology and innovation in the sector of cultural heritage and promote collaboration across institutions, research and private sector through the presentations of important cultural institutions, archives, universities and enterprises involved in the research in the field of new technologies, digital infrastructures and digitisation. The conference was a great opportunity for both private and public stakeholders to broaden their network even further and discuss the evolving technologies and how they impact the workflow of heritage professionals.

The event was a great success: with over  more than 80 people attended online and around 30 were attending on site: many interesting discussions between the stakeholders and attendees sparked.

The recordings of the event will be available soon on Photocosortium’s YouTube channel.
