The SHIFT project will mark its final event at the Digital Heritage 2025 World Expo and Congress in Siena, Italy, from 8–13th September 2025. As one of Europe’s leading initiatives for advancing digital transformation in cultural heritage, SHIFT will showcase its innovative tools and results to an international audience of cultural heritage professionals, policymakers, and technologists.
SHIFT will not be alone — together with our sister projects in the EU-funded Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) Cluster, we are co-organising and participating in key events throughout the congress.

The SHIFT consortium has spent the past three years developing a suite of digital tools designed to enhance accessibility, inclusion, and the overall appeal of cultural heritage. At Digital Heritage 2025, the project team will present the SHIFT Platform, demonstrate its applications for museums, libraries, and archives, and host discussions on the future of digital cultural heritage in Europe and beyond.
