For 30 years, the Conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT) has served as a premier platform for professionals, researchers, and institutions dedicated to the advancement of cultural heritage preservation through innovative technologies. Founded by Wolfgang Börner and originally organized by Stadtarchäologie Wien, CHNT has grown into a renowned international event, fostering interdisciplinary exchange in the fields of documentation, research, management, and conservation of cultural heritage.
With the transition of CHNT to the National Committee of ICOMOS Austria, the conference is now supported by the Austrian Focal Point for World Heritage at the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service, and Sport. This marks a new era, expanding CHNT’s focus to World Heritage research, management, and protection, while continuing to explore cutting-edge digital applications and technological solutions for cultural heritage. As Vienna navigates its commitments to UNESCO-listed sites such as the Frontiers of the Roman Empire, the Historic Centre of Vienna, and Schönbrunn Palace, CHNT plays a crucial role in facilitating knowledge exchange, policy discussions, and the development of sustainable strategies for heritage management.
The conference remains committed to bridging the gap between innovative research and real-world applications, ensuring that new technologies are practical, accessible, and impactful. Each year, CHNT welcomes a diverse, interdisciplinary audience of experts, practitioners, and decision-makers to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities of heritage preservation in the digital age.
