Conserving culture and cultural heritage through inclusive and sustainable development
CORDIS is the service of the European Commission to discover the results of the research and innovation initiatives in Europe. It provides information on projects, topics, and publications funded by the EU’s research programs, in multiple languages.
The publication states that “Sustainable cultural tourism puts cultural heritage and local communities at the centre of the decision-making process. This will drive good conservation practices and provide an authentic experience for visitors while supporting the local economy.”
In the frame of the Results Pack, together with its sister projects, INCULTUM is presented with a dedicated article titled “Local communities and stakeholders give cultural tourism a boost in Europe’s periphery”. Here you can read about the results of INCULTUM with regard to: Participatory models and collaborative practices for cultural tourism, Exploiting heritage resources as a common good, Capacity building and knowledge transfer for sustainable tourism.
9 March 2024, 11 AM - 8.30 PM, arebyte Gallery. Symposium and live play sessions.
Curated by artist David Blandy and writer Jamie Sutcliffe in association with Strange Attractor Press, Areas Of Effect: Planar Systems, Critical Roles, and Gaming Imaginaries is a one-day symposium on Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) with live game sessions.
The symposium examines how TTRPGs serve as a physical interface between the body and the imaginary, offering immersive experiences, problem-solving, moral dilemmas, and, most importantly, communal storytelling.
The day culminates in live TTRPG play sessions of the games Eco Mofos by artist David Blandy and SUPERZEROES by TTRPG game designer Samuel Mui, amongst others, inviting the audience to play with a deck of uniquely designed TTRPG playing cards.

The contribution of the Department of Management, Society and Communication of CBS to Geopark The South Fyn Archipelago
Associate Professor Carsten Humlebæk of Copenhagen Business School, partner of the INCULTUM project, recently participated in the first ordinary meeting of the Scientific Council of Geopark The South Fyn Archipelago of which he became a member at the inception of the Council in the summer of 2023. The Council’s role is to be a partner for the Geopark’s board and secretariat and provide input for new potential activities and business areas. The council seats biologists, historians, archaeologists, and geologists with responsibility for the six areas of action: Geology and nature, Teaching, Active outdoors living, Culture, and Research.
A collaboration between four municipalities, Geopark The South Fyn Archipelago aims to ‘create a strong common identity as a basis for local development, respecting landscapes, cultural heritage and wild nature’ in the south of Fyn and the adjacent islands and marine area. The Geopark aspires to become a UNESCO Global Geopark and received a visit by the UNESCO evaluators in June 2023 (in which the Scientific Council also participated). The final decision on the application is expected in late March.
Carsten Humlebæk is tasked with special responsibilities in the sixth field of action, focusing on geotourism – not least due to his involvement in the EU research project INCULTUM. Several of the tools and methods that INCULTUM has resulted in can be adapted to and implemented in Geopark contexts.

This webinar in two parts brought together professionals from the spectrum of Digital Cultural Heritage practice to share their experiences of using and working with paradata seeking to lay down a common understanding of paradata as a first step towards a community-built set of standards and expectations for its application to 3D documentation and the creation of knowledge.
Part 1 was held on 8/4/2024 => RECORDING HERE and see also below
Organized by UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage at Cyprus University of Technology in collaboration with EUreka3D, this webinar discusses the most advanced requirements and cases of the use of Paradata and Metadata in the digital documentation of the Past in 3D, for enriching 3D assets, creating knowledge and promoting reusability.
The webinar is addressed to the Digital Cultural Heritage community to establish a definitive description and differentiation of what paradata and metadata are, and the benefits they are bringing to the stakeholders, owners, multidisciplinary community and digital scholarship, as well as to the European Commission.

the final event of the H2020 project dedicated to enhance tourism in lesser known areas will take place in Spain on 12 April
The INCULTUM project is approaching the conclusion of the EU funding period. A final event is planned to take place on 12 April, 2024 in Guadix, Andalusia, organised by the project’s coordinator UGR hosted by ENTURNA Escuela Internacional de Turismo Rural y Naturaleza (Internation School of Rural Tourism). The conference will be an occasion to present results and outcomes of INCULTUM, to prepare for further exploitation by the partners, and to trigger the next implementation and replication phases in new areas across the European Union.
INCULTUM is an associated partner of EUreka3D, with a stake in exploring how digitization, and particularly digitization in 3D of monuments and sites, can support territory promotion and heritage diffusion. EUreka3D will be represented in the conference with participation of the project coordinator Antonella Fresa and with a poster.
On February 13th, the INCULTUM pilot coordinated by Uppsala University held a training session on methods for collecting and analyzing tourists and visitors. The session was held in Uppsala with 15 participants ranging from employees within three different municipalities, place developers, outdoor recreation strategists, and interest organization.
During four hours the participants learned about the method that was co-developed by the INCULTUM pilot and Öregrund to understand visitor engagement and behavior. The session was an interactive learning session where the participants also had the opportunity to test the GPS loggers and what the results can look like and how they can be analyzed.
The training session was intended to develop the participants’ competencies to facilitate their capabilities to interact and to know what kind of information and data they need that can be delivered. Both place and destination developers (DMOs) and those who are working with GIS data participated in the interactive activities.
The presentation delivered in the session is available in Swedish (PDF).
A new resource available on the INCULTUM Training Portal
The course is made of three thematic subsections each composed by several subsection which cover both general marketing and branding issues and many specifics of tourism and place branding, with a special focus on peripheral destinations and local’s involvement. It is all based on tutorial videos supplemented by additional material and quizzes for self-assessment.
