The main goal of the event is to illustrate the programs underway, whether organised by public bodies (e.g. UNESCO, European Union, National States, etc.) or by private foundations (e.g. Getty Foundation, World Heritage Foundation, etc.) in order to promote a common approach to the tasks of recording, documenting, protecting and managing World Cultural Heritage. The 3rd EuroMed Conference will definitely be a forum for sharing views and experiences, discussing proposals for the optimum attitude as well as the best practice and the ideal technical tools to preserve, document, manage, present/visualise and disseminate the rich and diverse Cultural Heritage of Mankind.

The ultimate aim of the 3rd EuroMed 2010 Conference will be to bring together as many interested institutions/parties as possible from as many different backgrounds as possible, in order to achieve a high level of mutual understanding of the needs, the requirements and the technical means of meeting them. Ultimately our common goal will be the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to the tasks of digitalisation, recording, documenting, archiving, presenting, protecting and managing the World Cultural Heritage. Our ambition is to host a somewhat different VSMM conference by mobilising participants from all over the world and from quite different scientific backgrounds.

Technological advances are very often reported in detail in specialised fora. What this event will strive for, is the establishment of bridges of communication and channels of cooperation between the various disciplines involved in Cultural Heritage. Furthermore, the contributions in this conference can assist all experts involved in the Cultural Heritage area in restoring, renovating, protecting, documenting, archiving, monitoring of the history of humanity in order to secure this information for the years to come. It is evident and clear that a worldwide collaboration in this area will help make our "Hi-tech-Story" accessible to the present and the future.
