TMM_CH 2026 Transdisciplinary Multispectral Modelling and Cooperation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage

Innovative scientific methodologies and challenging projects marking future trends in the protection of cultural heritage have initiated a universal conversation within a holistic approach, merging expertise from the scientific fields of architecture, civil engineering, surveying engineering, materials science and engineering, information technology and archaeology, alongside heritage professionals specializing in restoration and conservation, stakeholders, industry representatives and policy makers. The combined utilization of digital documentation technologies with innovative analytical and non-destructive techniques, numerical, computational and 3D techniques, and advanced interpretative methods supports the creation of a transdisciplinary multispectral modelling towards the sustainable preservation of cultural heritage. Innovation is enhancing and revealing a critical dimension of the preservation of cultural heritage along with social participation, communication, and capacity building.

This 5th International Conference holds a landmark anniversary significance, as it coincides with ten years since the historic opening of the Holy Tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, underscoring the lasting impact of emblematic heritage interventions and international cooperation in advancing research, innovation, and sustainable preservation.
