The European Commission (DG CONNECT) and the Online Competence Centre in 3D for Cultural Heritage are organising a Stakeholder Forum on AI for 3D Digital Twins in Cultural Heritage in the framework of the ApplyAI Strategy. The strategy supports the uptake and scaling of AI technologies to create high-quality 3D digital twins of cultural sites and artefacts.

The organisers are seeking up to 9 short presentations of 7 minutes each showcasing and discussing project results under one or more of these thematic areas:

1. AI for scaling up 3D digitisation & enhancement
   AI techniques that accelerate or improve 3D capture workflows, enhance legacy models, or scale digitisation pipelines.
   
2. AI for semantic enrichment & segmentation
   AI methods for automatic segmentation, metadata extraction, and semantic labelling of 3D models.
   
3. AI for data visualisation, interpretation, narrative creation and reuse
   AI approaches that analyse, classify, visualise or interpret cultural heritage data and scenes, supporting decision-making processes and enabling the re-use and creation of new narratives and contextual understandings.

Submission deadline is 13 March 2026.
