Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positions in
the area of Digital Cultural HeritageAll the calls available
under www.itn-dch.eu
The “Initial Training
Network for Digital Cultural Heritage: Projecting our Past to the Future” with
acronym ITN-DCH (
www.itn-dch.eu), is the first and one of the largest
Marie Curie fellowship projects in the area of the e-documentation /
e-preservation and Cultural Heritage (CH) protection funded by the European
Union under the FP7 PEOPLE research framework (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/
). The Project started on the 1st of October 2013 and it is a consortium
comprising of 14 full partners and 9 associate members covering the entire
spectrum of European CH actors, ranging from academia, research institutions,
industry, museums, archives and libraries. The project aims to train 20 fellows
(16 Early Stage Researchers and 4 Experienced Researchers – 500 person months)
in the area of CH digital documentation, preservation and protection in order to
create for them a strong academic profile and market oriented skills which will
significantly contribute to their career prospects. The consortium and the
fellows training programme will be supported by a prestigious advisory board.
ITN-DCH aims -for the first time
worldwide- to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative
multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial research training framework that covers
the entire lifecycle of digital CH research for a cost– effective preservation,
documentation, protection and presentation of cultural heritage. CH is an
integral element of Europe and vital for the creation of a common European
identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe’s social, economic
development and job creation. However, the current research training activities
in CH are fragmented and mostly design to be of a single discipline, failing to
cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is
by nature a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH
targets all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images,
drawings, manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artefacts, archaeological sites,
monuments) to intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore,
theatrical performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to
boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application
environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising,
fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i)
new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services,
(ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations
(3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata
forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving.
The ITN-DCH project is seeking highly
motivated and valuable researchers for PhD positions in the entire field of
Digital Heritage, such as: Data Acquisition (Photogrammetry, Terrestrial laser
scanning, GIS) and Computer Vision data processing, 3D reconstruction and
modeling, symbolic, semantic and ontology representation, metadata, mixed and
augmented reality technologies, CH e-services. All the fellows are supposed to
travel between the project partners and attend a series of complementary
training courses, scientific workshops and summer schools.
The call for fellows is
available on the ITN-DCH website: www.itn-dch.eu
