Miembro Español del Consorcio

The University of València today is the result of more than five centuries of history during which time it has gathered knowledge and unique documentary treasures, resulting in one of the best Spanish universities.

Throughout its history, the development of the University has run parallel to the growth of the city. It has formed an inextricable part of the urban fabric, generating spaces for teaching, research, creation and dissemination of culture and science, as well as for the transfer of knowledge.

 

La Universitat de València de hoy es el resultado de más de cinco siglos de historia que han permitido acumular unos saberes y unos tesoros documentales únicos, y que la han convertido en una de las mejores universidades españolas.

A lo largo de su historia, el desarrollo de la Universitat ha corrido en paralelo con el de la ciudad, y ha formado una parte inextricable de su trama urbana, generando espacios para la docencia, la investigación, la creación y difusión de cultura y ciencia, así como para la transferencia de conocimiento.

The main role of the University of València in the EU-LAC-MUSEUMS project focuses on applied research aimed at Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainable Museums.

This work will be encompassed in a number of documents, such as an Owned Strategic Planning (OSP) model for the sustainable management of museums; a Model of Integral Management (MIM) for Cultural Heritage; a Method of Evaluation of the Cultural Heritage (MECH); and the design and application of a Geographic Information System (GIS) applied to cultural heritage.

 

La función de la Universitat de València en el proyecto EU-LAC-MUSEUMS se centra en la realización de investigaciones aplicadas dirigidas a la Innovación y el Emprendimiento para Museos Sostenibles.

Estos trabajos se recogerán en diversos documentos, como son: un modelo de Planificación Estratégica Participada (PEP) destinado a la gestión sostenible de museos, un Modelo Integral de Gestión (MIG) del Patrimonio Cultural, un Método de Evaluación del Patrimonio Cultural (MEPC) y el diseño y aplicación de un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) aplicado al patrimonio cultural.

     

 

Museums for Social Inclusion and Cohesion


Characterize and promote the statements about historic and family memory, cultural identity and material/immaterial heritage which are emitted by the museums of the Region of Los Rios, and other museums situated in member countries from the EU-LAC Museum Consortium. Pursuing the promotion of ancestral knowledge, the bi-directional transmission of knowledge and principles between the communities / museums / universities, and strengthening the working relationship of the network of Museums.

Technology and Innovation for Bi-Regional Integration

By allowing local community museums to create a network with other similar organisations, in both LAC and EU, our project, and in particular this work package, will significantly promote and aid the development of mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples, through digital (namely web) and physical in situ means. Museums are an invaluable tool in this process due to their capacity to connect the remote/digital with the present/physical understanding of the world, both in terms of its similarities and diversities.

Fostering Sustainable Community Museums

EU-LAC-MUSEUMS seeks to carry out out a comparative analysis of small to medium-sized rural museums and their communities in the EU and LAC regions, and to develop associated history and theory.

Exhibiting Migration and Gender

To empower institutional partners within the EU_LAC project with the necessary digitisation and communication technology training and tools allowing them to fully participate in and support the development of a virtual museum of the migration experience/s as informed by the experiences and trajectories outlined.
To conceptualise and develop new interpretation resources, utilising both historical and contemporary contracts (both memory and art based) in the development of travelling exhibitions and associated educational resources, making available through partnership arrangements with museums as identified.

Galleries of 3D Artefacts

Objects, following certain criteria, are picked by museum staff to either be 3D scanned or photogrammatised. Scanning can be done only if the necessary equipment is available, which lends photogrammetry to be the preferred affordable method. Images are sent through open source software that creates a 3D file which then can be archived and uploaded to a social archiving site such as Sketchfab. As a social site, Sketchfab tracks a user’s followers, views and comments. All digital objects appear in a video player which can be embedded in websites easily.

EU LAC Virtual Museum

Created specifically for the EU-LAC MUSEUMS project by the University of St Andrews, the EU-LAC MUSEUMS Virtual Museum is a major research outcome that assembles digital media of cultural heritage; making it easy to access and use. 3D digital objects, 360° museum tours and community discussion videos populate the Virtual Museum as content generated from the 3D Workshops, held in three European, three Latin American and three Caribbean countries. By creating digital content from community museums all over the world, the heritage, objects and stories can be shared and appreciated by a global audience.

Tangible & Intangible database

One of the objectives of this initiative is to encourage small community museums to contribute to a global online inventory.
In community museums, the exhibited objects represent (or are part of) an intangible cultural heritage. We propose the creation of a database that integrates an object-oriented inventory with an intangible cultural heritage-oriented inventory.

The contents of the website will be easier to search and access if we place all the cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) in a single database, even though the registration fields are not all the same for these two types of cultural heritage. In addition, an item placed in the database may contain a publication, several image files, a video file or an audio file. Or just one of these elements.
