Just weeks after its official launch, the 3D-4CH platform is already full of expertise. The center has seen a huge influx of resources curated from Digital Heritage projects across Europe, establishing a high-value repository for the community from day one.

Currently, the platform (https://www.3d4ch-competencecentre.eu/) offers a diverse range of materials, including:

  • A training hub with a growing catalogue of online and in-person courses tailored for cultural heritage professionals 
  • A knowledge base with a library of standards, best practices, use cases, papers and reports
  • A tools library which provides a gateway to software and tools for 3D data management, AI, XR and more

This is only the beginning. As the 3D-4CH website moves through its first iterations, it is designed to evolve into Europe’s central "digital home" for 3D cultural heritage—a goal that can only be reached through community collaboration.

Open call to the community

Marco Medici, project coordinator and CEO at INCEPTION, writes the platform "is not a finished product, but a living starting point — a digital home currently under construction. We invite the community to join us and help shape it, brick by brick.”
