The Italian Association of Digital Humanities (AIUCD) is
pleased to announce the 2018 edition of its annual conference and
invites all interested scholars to submit a proposal.
The theme of the conference is Cultural Heritage in the
Digital Age. Memory, Humanities and Technologies. The
topic brings together interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
fields, and examines the role of cultural heritage in all its
aspects in the digital age, the way in which the study and

artistic, archaeological and philosophical) connects with
different methodologies, logic and computer technologies and
various types of media and digital resources. It also concerns the
critical problems of digital memory, the re-thinking of
contemporary digital culture, the changing definition,
enhancement, research and conservation of cultural heritage in the
digital era, as well as the digital rebirth of humanistic culture.
