Call for Papers: Digital Heritage | Spain

An international event for those working on information technology for heritage, the second edition of the DigitalHeritage conference will be held in Granada, Spain, on 28 September - 2 October 2015. This 'federated' world congress brings together events by several leading international organisations and societies, including a number of thematic seminars and parallel special events from ICOMOS' International Committee on Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites (ICIP), Space2Place and others, leading to a joint publication. It aims to become the largest international scientific event on digital heritage in history, bringing together hundreds of researchers, educators, scientists, industry professionals and policy makers to debate, discuss and present digital technology applied to the protection, documentation, and understanding of humanity’s shared heritage. The conference will focus on five heritage themes, as explained hereafter:
