About the Conference
How important are modern information technologies for the preservation, study, and popularisation of cultural heritage today? What digital formats and tools are most effective for popularising cultural heritage among different audiences? How does information technology affect the tourist flow of cities? Can cultural heritage incentivise the socio-economic growth of regions? And what difficulties and challenges may arise when training specialists in the field of digitalisation of cultural heritage?
These and other questions will be discussed at the International Scientific and Practical Conference 'Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage.'
The conference is focused on current issues in the application of modern information technologies for the preservation, study, and popularisation of cultural heritage. The goal of the event is to create an interdisciplinary platform for experience exchange between researchers, practitioners, and representatives of professional communities. Participants will discuss the role of digital tools in the processes of preserving and promoting cultural heritage objects, as well as analyse the possibilities and limitations of technological solutions. A separate conference section will be devoted to the work of students and graduate students from various fields.
