UNICHE attended the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Cyber Humanities (IEEE CH) in Venice on 7–9 September 2026. We presented four papers at the conference, showcasing research developed through the project in collaboration with three of our partners: CNR ISPC – Institute of Heritage Science, Athena Research Center and Museo Galileo.
Our contributions explored various facets of digital cultural heritage, ranging from participatory methods and authoring tools to simulation, immersive experiences, and innovative approaches to interpreting cultural assets:

UNICHE attended the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Cyber Humanities (IEEE CH) in Venice on 7–9 September 2026. We presented four papers at the conference, showcasing research developed through the project in collaboration with three of our partners: CNR ISPC – Institute of Heritage Science, Athena Research Center and Museo Galileo.
Our contributions explored various facets of digital cultural heritage, ranging from participatory methods and authoring tools to simulation, immersive experiences, and innovative approaches to interpreting cultural assets:
- “A Two-Level Co-Design Framework for Use Case Elicitation in Cultural Heritage Platforms: Lessons from Four Pilot Sites” (CNR ISPC)
- “Beyond No-Code: User Requirements for Authoring Ecosystems in Cultural Heritage” (Athena Research Center)
- “Multi-Agent-Based Simulation of Archaeological Mobility in Uneven Landscapes” (Athena Research Center)
- “Hidden in Plain Sight: Layered Interpretation in a 360° Experience for the Church of Saint Basil” (Athena Research Center and Museo Galileo)
Together, these contributions reflect the breadth of research taking place across the project, as well as our efforts to explore how digital technologies can facilitate novel forms of engagement with cultural heritage. They also emphasise the importance of placing researchers, heritage professionals and end users at the heart of developing digital cultural heritage solutions.
We are delighted to announce that the paper “Multi-Agent-Based Simulation of Archaeological Mobility in Uneven Landscapes” by Chairi Kiourt won Best Research Paper Award.
The IEEE International Conference on Cyber Humanities brings together researchers and practitioners who are exploring the role of technology in the social sciences and humanities. Spanning a wide range of disciplines including cultural heritage, archaeology, history, the arts, and linguistics, the conference creates a space for interdisciplinary exchange between traditionally distinct fields.
A key focus of the conference is the development of a Cultural Cyber Critical Ecosystem: a human-cyber-physical system in which cultural assets can be digitised, curated, protected, reused and shared in a way that promotes trust, resilience and sustainability.
The conference provides us with an opportunity to present our latest research and exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of technology, culture, and the humanities. We are looking forward to sharing our experiences of the project's research and pilot activities, learning from the wider Cyber Humanities community, and continuing the conversations around the future of digital cultural heritage.
