These two-day, beginner-friendly trainings and workshops, developed within the AISTER project that brings computer science, citizen participation and social sciences to explore how artificial intelligence can support the protection and safeguarding of Ukrainian cultural heritage. The programme aims to foster critical AI literacy for cultural heritage while placing ethical and methodological considerations for the preservation of Ukrainian heritage at risk at the centre of discussion. It is designed for higher education staff, researchers, and heritage professionals, and combines critical reflection with practical skills.

No prior technical background is required for the morning trainings. For online participation, please send an email to sofiia.tryzno@ext.uni.lu

Both days will take place at the DH Lab, Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), University of Luxembourg.
