You are cordially invited to contribute to the



23rd EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH)



as part of the



4th DigitalHeritage World Congress and Expo (DH2025)



organised in



Siena (Italy), from September 8 to 13, 2025



DH2025 (https://digitalheritage2025.unisi.it/digital-heritage/) welcomes presentations of new research, projects, demonstrations and applications that demonstrate how computer graphics and other digital technologies are impacting cultural heritage research, preservation and dissemination and promoting sustainable cultural tourism. Specific sessions will be organised to seek new challenges and projects involving different stakeholders of the Heritage ecosystem. Hence, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to the event. A groundbreaking public exhibition of cutting-edge digital heritage projects will also be set up. Following the successful format of the previous editions, the conference will have a single call for papers and a coordinated scientific review process.



Location



In 2025 the Congress is organised in Siena (Italy), one of the most important cities in mediaeval Europe. The whole city, with its iconic Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding landscape.



Objectives



We are seeking original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied Digital Heritage domains. All papers will have a blind peer review by the International Programme Committee (IPC). The IPC seeks for every submission at least one “digital” and one

“heritage” reviewer to ensure a rich diversity of accepted works spanning both technology and humanities. All submissions will be reviewed for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Each submission shall indicate the specific Digital Heritage 2025 Track that is relevant to the submission (see below “Tracks and Special Sessions”). You can submit full or short papers, special sessions (tutorials, workshops and panels), and exhibitions (follow dedicated “call for exhibits”).



Types of Contributions



The event seeks different types of contributions, that will be published in the EG DL, including:



Scientific Results



Full Research papers: original and innovative research (max. 10 pages incl. refs.)

Short Papers: research activities, applications or projects (max. 4 pages inc. refs.)

Posters / Demo: overview of activities or national/international Interdisciplinary projects (2 pages)

Journal Publications

Works with a high innovation potential will receive a proposal to prepare an extended manuscript of their contribution (or extended version in case of Full Papers) to be submitted to a scientific journal.

Following last years’ events, DH25 aims at establishing dedicated agreements with leading journals, e.g. ACM JOCCH Journal, Elsevier DAACH, MDPI Heritage or Elsevier JCH. More information will be published as soon as the agreements are in place.
