This volume arises from the Blended Intensive Programme Challenges in Cultural Heritage: Sustainable Development and Digital Transformation, organised within the FORTHEM Alliance. The programme brought together students, academics, and professionals from several European universities to explore how cultural heritage can be responsibly managed amid technological advances and global pressures.
Developed through collaboration among the Universities of Palermo, Burgundy, Valencia, and Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, the programme created a dynamic environment for international and interdisciplinary exchange. Hosted in Valencia—both physically and virtually—it offered a setting where historical heritage and modern innovation coexist, illustrating how the past is constantly reinterpreted through contemporary needs and future goals.
The chapters compiled in this book examine the relationship between cultural heritage, sustainability, and digital transformation. Contributors discuss how to protect vulnerable heritage assets while promoting resilience, and how digital tools can reshape documentation, analysis, and communication. Through theory, case studies, and practical examples, the volume highlights both challenges and opportunities at the intersection of tradition and innovation.
The publication reflects the collaborative ethos of FORTHEM, enriched by diverse participants and intercultural dialogue. It underscores that the future of heritage depends not only on technology but also on shared learning and cooperation. This volume aims to inform and inspire readers to engage critically with the evolving field of cultural heritage and to contribute to shaping a sustainable future where heritage continues to benefit communities worldwide.
Aquest volum naix del programa intensiu Challenges in Cultural Heritage: Sustainable Development and Digital Transformation, desenvolupat dins l’Aliança FORTHEM. El programa va reunir estudiants, investigadors i professionals europeus interessats a comprendre com gestionar responsablement el patrimoni cultural en un context de transformació digital i pressions globals creixents.
Gràcies a la cooperació entre les universitats de Palerm, Borgonya, València i Lucian Blaga de Sibiu, s’hi va generar un espai d’intercanvi internacional i interdisciplinari. València, com a seu presencial i virtual, va oferir un marc privilegiat on la tradició històrica conviu amb la innovació, recordant que el passat és sempre reinterpretat des de les necessitats del present.
Els capítols del llibre analitzen les connexions entre patrimoni, sostenibilitat i digitalització. S’hi aborden qüestions com la protecció del patrimoni vulnerable, el paper de les tecnologies digitals en la documentació i la difusió, i les polítiques necessàries per garantir-ne la resiliència. En conjunt, mostren que el treball patrimonial se situa entre la tradició i la innovació.
La publicació reflecteix l’esperit col·laboratiu de FORTHEM i la riquesa del diàleg intercultural. Pretén ser una eina útil i inspiradora per a estudiants, investigadors i professionals, i convida a imaginar un futur sostenible en què el patrimoni continue enriquint les comunitats.
