Euromed 2012, the 4th International Euro-Mediterranean Conference will
take place in Cyprus, October 29 – November 3, 2012. This important
event is being held in cooperation with the European Commission and
will investigate cultural heritage (CH) research and practice in one
of the most famous archaeological areas of the world.
The 4th EuroMed2012 brings together researchers, policy makers,
professionals, fellows and practitioners to explore some of the more
pressing issues concerning cultural heritage today. In particular, the
main goal of the conference is to focus on interdisciplinary and
multi-disciplinary research on tangible and intangible CH, the use of
cutting edge technologies for the protection, restoration,
preservation, massive digitalization, documentation and presentation
of the CH content. At the same time, the event is intended to cover
topics of research ready for exploitation, demonstrating the
acceptability of new sustainable approaches and new technologies by
the user community, SME’s, owners, managers and conservators of
cultural patrimony.
Several organizations have decided to join together in order to create
an optimal environment for the discussion, explanation of new
technologies, exchange of modern ideas and in general to allow the
transfer of knowledge between a maximum number of professionals and
participants during one common time period.
Its main objectives are further to:
1. Highlight the role of European cultural heritage research and
developments within international activities and co-operation.
2. Assess the impact of EU policies on the protection, restoration,
preservation and digitalisation (e-documentation) of European CH and
evaluate the positive contribution of cultural heritage innovative
research and developments for competitiveness and job creation.
3. Disseminate the results of EU cultural heritage innovative research
and developments acquired at large research facilities and discuss new
developments and innovation in research infrastructure.
4. Discuss and consolidate co-ordination of national research into
educational programmes for CH within Europe and the world.
5. Refine, amend and publish main ideas and visions of technological
platforms opened to the entire field of CH in the context of
preparation of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (2014-2020).
6. Emphasize the relation of conservation practice to contemporary
legislation, especially experienced by SMEs and public institutions,
problems of orphan works and re-use, fraud and crime regarding movable
cultural heritage market; health and safety issues in conservation
practice.
7. Discuss the influence of research on the impact of EU policies and
directives on CH, and mitigation of possible adverse effects (for
example: Galileo project, Digital Agenda, Open Access, Orphan works,
Public Sector Information-PSI, etc).
8. Underline and discuss the role of the current and future
developments on international activities, agreements and
co-operations:
a. Against demolishing and/or looting in CH (UNESCO, Interpol,
Europol, ICOMOS, ICCROM, etc).
b. on the e-documentation, open access and e-preservation in CH
(European Union Europeana, Wikipedia, Google, UNESCO Memory of the
World, World Library, MSoft Bing, etc);
c. on the establishment of standards in the field of CH;
d. on conventions (like the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of
the Intangible CH; EU CH Label, WHL, etc);
e. on documenting, archiving, monitoring, preserving, protecting and
presenting worldwide the CH using innovative ICT solutions;
f. on the legal and ethical responsibilities of CH Informatics;
