From 24 to 25 September, fifteen partners from seven European countries will gather to present results, tools and experimental projects. On 25 September, two events will be open to the public, from the presentation of the project’s results to a virtual tour of the Domus of Titus Macer. Aquileia is hosting the final event of
REEVALUATE – Rethinking Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age, a European project funded by the Horizon Europe programme that has explored in recent years how digital technologies can help enhance, interpret and reuse cultural heritage in a responsible, inclusive and sustainable way.
Fondazione Aquileia is one of the project’s 15 partners, drawn from seven European countries: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.
The programme begins on
Thursday, 24 September with a plenary meeting reserved for the international partners, who will gather at Palazzo Brunner-Segré to share the results of the project’s experimental work, compare experiences from different contexts and discuss its future prospects.
On
Friday, 25 September, the programme will
open to the public. From 9.30 am to 12.30 pm, the conference room at Palazzo Brunner-Segré will host a presentation of the project’s main results and the digital tools developed during the research. Particular attention will be devoted to the three international case studies involved in the project: the
Domus of Titus Macer in Aquileia, the
Olympic Museum of Thessaloniki and the
Fashion Museum Antwerp. The morning will also include a live demonstration of the solutions developed, showing how digital technologies can expand opportunities to understand and experience cultural heritage.
In the afternoon,
from 3 to 5 pm, the focus will shift to
Aquileia’s archaeological heritage. The event will take place in the
Fondo Cossar area, at the Domus of Titus Macer, where Fondazione Aquileia will present the virtual tour of the domus created as part of REEVALUATE. The event will demonstrate how digital tools, participatory processes and new approaches to interpretation can complement a physical visit to an archaeological site, offering additional ways to explore, understand and experience cultural heritage.
The final event therefore marks both the culmination of REEVALUATE’s international journey and an opportunity to share with the local community and the wider public the tangible results of the work carried out in Aquileia, bringing research, technological innovation and the enhancement of cultural heritage into dialogue.
