Charting a new course for European cultural heritage digitisation

In the fast-evolving landscape of European cultural heritage digitisation, it is important to improve accessibility, interoperability, and innovative (re)use of digital collections. However, this is not easy. Limitations extend to adapting legal frameworks for contemporary transformations and creative endeavours. In this context, the EU-funded IMPULSE project aims to revolutionise digitisation methods, and foster a more immersive, accessible, and interconnected experience for diverse audiences in the realms of education, arts, and cultural and creative sectors. By using Extended Reality (XR), it intends to engage underrepresented communities. IMPULSE integrates visual arts and dance performances through pilots and prototypes. Its collaborative approach includes a Community of Practice, a Hackathon, and an Acceleration & Mentoring Hub, connecting stakeholders for capacity building in immersive digitisation.
