Enrichment of 3D volumetric data with Metadata and Semantics
Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one (1) full time Marie S. Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Fellow Position in the newly established UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage / Digital Heritage Research Lab of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) in the research field of Enrichment of 3D volumetric objects with Metadata and Semantics: The selected Marie S. Curie ESR will work for thirty six (36) months within the ITN CHANGE Marie S. Curie ITN Project, an EU-funded programme bringing together eight (8) leading European Institutions as full beneficiaries and ten (10) other as partners in a transnational network, aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectorial research and training programme between academic, research and the industrial partners. Description
Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of Europe, 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 designed as single-discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi-disciplinary and intersectorial agenda. The CHANGE project will train a new generation of early stage researchers towards a common goal, namely the assessment of changes in tangible cultural heritage objects and their monitoring in the atmosphere and/or during their conservation treatment, using multimodal imaging techniques to complement more traditional analytical techniques. Their research will consist in optimizing capture of data and their analysis, visualisation and management, to ensure a better documentation and long-term preservation of our common European cultural heritage. This work will be carried out within an interdisciplinary environment involving 5 CH and 4 ICT beneficiary institutions as well as 9 CH, ICT and industrial partners from 8 EU countries.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 813789 H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action ITN 2018 CHANGE http://change-itn.eu/

UNESCO CHAIR on Digital Cultural Heritage
FULL TIME EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA (ERA) CHAIR HOLDER POSITION
IN THE FIELD OF DIGITAL HERITAGE
Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one
(1) Full-time Researcher Position: Special Scientist for Research / Senior Researcher A / ERA Chair
holder on Digital Cultural Heritage) at the newly established UNESCO and European Research Area
Chairs on Digital Cultural Heritage within the Digital Heritage Research Laboratory (DHRLab) of the
Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) in the research field of Digital Heritage and Cultural
Informatics.
The selected scientist will work for fifty-four (54) months within the EU H2020 ERA Chair ‘Mnemosyne
Project’, a unique EU-funded programme bringing together for the first time a worldwide network,
aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectoral educational, research and training
programme between academic research, creative industries and key Cultural Heritage stakeholders.
Description
Cultural Heritage is a strategic resource for Europe with high cultural, social, environmental and
economic value. The era of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) is now well underway and the European
research resource for DCH has grown significantly in recent years worldwide. But the visible
contribution of the EU Widening countries to this effort remains relatively weak. The Digital Heritage
Research Laboratory (DHRLab) at Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) www.digitalheritagelab.eu
has been an exception in this respect, becoming a beacon in the Eastern Mediterranean and for
Europe in general, in particular through its leadership of key initiatives in DCH research training and in
EU policy co-ordination and support. While the Cypriot economy gradually recovers, in order to
maintain and expand its leading role in DCH research, DHRLab needs further investment. This call for
an ERA Chair is an ideal opportunity to ensure this by means of a well-designed and iterative process
of strengthening its research capacity and restructuring of its role. Therefore, the EU ERA Chair
Mnemosyne project will proceed from the appointment of an outstanding researcher and research
manager as ERA Chair holder in 2019, who will attract, direct and maintain high quality human
resources and negotiate and implement the necessary structural changes to achieve excellence on a
sustainable basis. The project will be carried out over a period of 5 years. Following recruitment of the
ERA Chair Research Team, a three-phase research programme centered on holistic documentation
(knowledge management) of the DCH life cycle in support of existing and potential user needs, will be
carried out and extensively evaluated, with strong attention paid to exploitation. Communication
activities will be strategically planned and refined from the outset of the work and will last throughout
the project duration.

volume, variety and velocity of mainly unstructured new data, generated every day most
for finding and using previously inaccessible European digital content;
C. DCH data processing
user-oriented metadata and ontology standards for the description and exchange of DCH
data;
metadata designs especially of language-based data close to human conceptual systems
and gaining insights from data in natural language;

recordings, audio recordings, digital images, text, multispectral and thermal
information and 3D representations of objects or scenes;
generation and presentation of localized DCH content and its documentation to enhance
audience value (in services such as Europeana) for example through efficient and
innovative acquisition and deployment of geospatial data.
