The second International Conference
19-20 Feb 2025 BATNA (Algeria)

Conference Objectives and Tracks

Introduction

The digitization of cultural and natural heritage, along with the reconstruction and restoration of ancient and contemporary environments, represents a transformative approach to preserving and understanding our past. All nations and international organizations, including UNESCO, are working to establish a comprehensive digital system that encompasses all aspects of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, as well as the natural heritage of humanity, through virtual reconstruction processes.

With the help of the advanced technologies such as 3D scanning, virtual reality, and geographic information systems, it is now possible to digitally preserve monuments, artifacts, and landscapes that are at risk of deterioration or loss. Thus, and to responds to the demands of the digital age we live in, the present conference primarily aims to strengthen the existent liaisons amid researchers from various fields as well as create a database in order to protect cultural and natural heritage for future generations.

Conference  Objectives:

This international, multidisciplinary event aims to:

1.Use digitization to ensure the conservation of digital copies of cultural heritage elements at risk of disappearance.
2.Contribute to the creation of digital databases to facilitate the management of cultural and natural heritage.
3.Understand environmental and climatic interactions and their impact on archaeological sites.
4.Analyze the functioning of ecological systems to facilitate intervention in case of malfunction.
5.Encourage the creation of Start-up in the field of archaeological heritage.
6.Stimulate international research projects to meet technological needs and contemporary globalization.
7.Attempt to reconstruct and visualize ancient environments using technology and applying 3D modeling and virtual reality techniques.
8.Promote tourism development by offering virtual tours of cultural, historical, and natural sites.
9.Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration among archaeology, tourism, environment, and technology for a comprehensive study of cultural and natural heritage.
 

Conference Tracks : Our international scientific event addresses fundamental topics related to the digitalization process using advanced technologies:

1. Digitization and reconstruction of cultural heritage: a new horizon

  • -  Integration of 3D models of artifacts into virtual and augmented reality.
  • -  High-resolution 3D scanning and large-scale photogrammetry to digitize large structures (buildings, archaeological sites).
  • -Analysis of the impact of climate on the conservation of archaeological heritage.
  • -  Use of digital technologies for the tourist promotion of historical and cultural heritage.
  • -Results of archaeological research carried out in Algeria, incorporating digitization approaches

2. Digitization and restoration of natural heritage : towards a sustainable conservation

  • - 3D for Conservation: Digital Tools for Enhanced Ecosystem Understanding and Management.
  • - Ecological Engineering and Ecosystem Restoration: Challenges and Prospects for a Sustainable Future.
  • - Past and Future Ecosystems: The Potential of Digital Models to Understand Landscape Evolution and Anticipate Global Change Impacts.

3. Digitalization Challenges:

  • - Ethical and legal challenges of using digitization.
  • - The challenge of virtual restitution of degraded or partially preserved environments.
  • - The digitization process and its impact in the era of globalization.
