Copyright and policy office hours are informal online sessions that seek to bring cultural heritage professionals together in discussing and addressing common challenges. On September 16th, 15-16:00 CET, professionals will talk about various examples of cultural heritage organisations measuring risk, and some tools available.
As cultural heritage institutions need to comply with copyright law, among other areas, they are faced with a lot of legal uncertainty. Just like any other area of law, some specific situations are not foreseen and therefore have no clear legal answer. Faced with these grey areas, some argue that cultural heritage professionals have a duty to bear some risk in order to fulfill the public interset mission that they are publicly funded to deliver. How can risk be measured, and when is it too much?
To the extent possible, Europeana encourages the participant to share their thoughts, examples and questions in advance through the mandatory registration form.
The 
EUreka3D-XR partner Swing:IT Software Engineering Italia S.r.l. team met CRDI Ajuntament de Girona for two fruitful days of work, planning and progressing on the virtual visualisation of the Girona historical walls, one of the three XR scenarios developed in the project.
The pilot is about using archival materials to reconstruct in 3D the medieval walls of the city of Girona (Catalonia, Spain); and to reuse such reconstruction for an AR walking tour using a mobile device. The walls were partly demolished at the beginning of the 20th century because of the new urban setting of the city, and so archaeological restoration was not possible anymore.
In the EUreka3D-XR project, 3D modelling and XR allow to go back to history and recover what was destroyed at that time. Based on cartography, engravings, photography, films and textual records, we will be able to visualise the walls again with a very realistic approach. Using the AI 3D Builder tool that partner project Swing:It is developing, an advanced AI-powered software pipeline to generate 3D models from 2D image collections, it will be possible to recreate very realistic 3D models of the demolished walls. To enable users and tourists to access this reconstruction, the 3D XR Studio, a web-based editor complemented with a mobile application, will allow to create an XR experience aceesible on site.
In November 2025 the first prototype of the tools is expected to be released, and the Girona walls scenario will be presented in its first version during a demo event set in Girona at the end of January 2026.
