*Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positions****in the area of
Digital Cultural Heritage*
The "Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage: Projecting
our Past to the Future" with acronym ITN-DCH (*www.itn-dch.eu*
<http://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*:
