Subject: Invitation to the high-level event of the ‘Twin it! 3D for Europe's culture’
campaign on 14 May in Brussels
Dear Minister,
I am delighted to invite you to the high-level event of the ‘Twin it! 3D for Europe's
culture’ campaign which will take place on 14 May in Brussels (on the same day as the
meeting of the Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council, EYCS). It will be hosted by
the European Commission and the Europeana Initiative, under the auspices of the
Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU.
This event will showcase the remarkable achievements of the Twin it! 3D for Europe’s
culture campaign, notably the many cultural heritage assets across Member States that
have been digitised in 3D. The campaign drives European efforts to scale up 3D
digitisation, as called for in the European Commission’s Recommendation (EU)
2021/1970 on a common European data space for cultural heritage. It also contributes to
the European Commission’s strategy on Web 4.0 and virtual worlds, presented in July
2023.
The event will bring together Ministers of Culture, high-level representatives of the EU
institutions, policymakers at both European and national level, as well as a selected group
of experts and innovators at the intersection of cultural heritage and technology. It will
demonstrate the potential of 3D technologies to transform the cultural heritage sector,
support digital preservation and foster new applications, such as in tourism.
The high-level political opening is scheduled from 14:15 to 14:50, during which you
have the possibility to present the 3D model submitted by your. The event will be held
in English.

I kindly ask you to confirm your participation, indicate any interest in presenting
the 3D model from your Member State and provide the names of your
accompanying delegates via email to:
[email protected] by 30 April
2024. My services at the Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content
and Technology will be pleased to assist you with any logistic questions your team may
have.
Yours sincerely,
Thierry BRETON
