Sustainable, Usable and Visible Digital Cultural Heritage: Twinning for Excellence

Objective

The objective of the DIGHT-Net is to enhance research capacity, broaden the research partnership and increase the visibility & attractiveness of Tallinn University (TLU) in digital cultural heritage studies.
To mobilise and amplify digital cultural heritage research locally, nationally and internationally, ensure sustainability and maximise the impact, the joint research hub of Digital Cultural Heritage studies (DIGHT-Hub) will be co-established at the TLUs School of Humanities. The project shall prototype a Twinned Digital Archive of Juri Lotman and Umberto Eco, and build a semiotic theory of digital cultural heritage, based on the work of Lotman, Eco and other scholars.
The objectives will be achieved through networking and collaboration activities with internationally-leading research institutions: The University of Bologna (UNIBO), the University of Amsterdam (UvA), and the University of Turku (UTU). Not only do these partners have a high level of scientific capacity and international reputation, but they are also well-integrated into the international research and collaboration networks and have a proven track record in early-stage researcher development and research management. The experience, knowledge and authority of leading European competence centres in archival and heritage studies, digital culture studies and memory studies will provide perfect pathways for TLU to raise the bar for excellence, increase attractiveness and retention of research talents, modernise the approach to participation in Horizon Europe competitions and consequently achieve a long-lasting contribution to the European cultural heritage and its digital transformation.
