Call for Papers

You are kindly invited to join the 4th edition of DigitalHeritage World Congress and Expo by submitting original contributions applied to the various areas within the Digital Cultural Heritage domain. The congress is organised around a scientific core, developed with the most innovative, original and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied Digital Heritage domains.

Following the successful format of the previous editions, the congress has a single call for papers and a coordinated scientific review process. All submitted papers have a blind peer review by the International Programme Committee (IPC). The IPC seeks, for every submission, at least one “digital” and one “heritage” reviewer to ensure a rich diversity of accepted works spanning both technology and humanities. Conference proceedings are published in Open Access with Eurographics (EG) publisher, available in the EG Digital Library, indexed by Scopus and Web of Science. A selection of papers will be invited for an extended publication in leading journals (ACM JOCCH, Elsevier DAACH, MDPI Heritage, Indiana Univ. Press “Studies in Digital Heritage”) (more in Call4Paper).

All submissions will be reviewed for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Each submission shall indicate the specific “Track” that is relevant to the submission, selecting it among the main 6 thematic tracks, the 7th dedicated to special strategic sessions or the 8th dedicated to the co-located ACM conference Web3D (more in Tracks & Subtracks). You can submit: full papers, short papers, posters, tutorials, workshops, panels (more in Types of Contribution)

Beyond the scientific presentations, the congress is also organising a Scientific Expo (more in Expo), and a Trade Show dedicated to companies and to the exploitation activities of organisations (more in Trade Show).
