Heritage: From physical to digital
The aim is to scope existing and initiate new academic partnerships between researchers in Leiden with an interest in this theme.
The outcomes of the meeting will also contribute to the development of a vision and plan for the Digital Heritage Lab. This (semi-)public meeting is part of a scoping research project that explores the possibilities of establishing an interdisciplinary Digital Heritage Lab at Leiden University, initiated by the faculties of LIACS, LUCAS and Archaeology. This lab will serve as a dedicated space at Leiden University, where innovative and playful approaches, along with the use of digital technologies, are embraced to bring the past to life.
