On March the 6th and 7th the second edition of the conferences Bessons Digitals, will be held, promoted by the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona (MNAT), the Rovira i Virgili University, the project of digitalization of the cultural heritage Giravolt and the Catalan Intitute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC). This second Edition will address the application of 3D technology to cultural heritage as well as the challenges that its irruption raises in the management of these resources and their dissemination.

Bessons Digitals aims to deepen the role that digital technologies should play in the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. The conferences are based on the concept that cultural heritage is at the same time, the result and the process that provides society with inherited resources of the past, which take on a new meaning to the present that has to be transmitted to the future.

This year, Bessons Digitals is planning to continue with the theoretical and practical exploration with a special focus on 3D digitalization techniques and their role as a privileged tool for the safeguarding and dissemination of heritage.

The conferences are divided in two blocks: on the one hand, there will be four workshops aimed for graduate and postgraduate students at URV in the Early-Christian Necropolis and the Monumental Complex of Centcelles where some techniques such as virtual reality glasses, laser scanner, photogrammetry and digital storytelling, will be shown.

On the other hand, a final debate opened to the public is expected in order to share the challenges posed by the dissemination of these digital objects, both from the museums and from other institutions engaged with the preservation and dissemination of heritage.
