About
I am seeking to collaborate on Horizon Europe Cluster 2 proposals aligned with topics addressing inclusive, accessible, and participatory cultural heritage in the context of digital transformation.
My work focuses on integrating artistic and practice-based research methods with AI and immersive technologies (VR/AR) to design and deliver more inclusive and engaging cultural heritage experiences. I am particularly interested in projects that respond to priorities around broadening access, fostering participation, and ensuring diversity and representation in cultural heritage.
Key areas of interest include:
-
Inclusive and accessible design of digital and immersive heritage experiences
-
Use of VR/AR and immersive media to expand cultural participation
-
AI-enabled tools for accessibility, interpretation, and personalised engagement
-
Co-creation with diverse and underrepresented communities, including people with disabilities
-
Artistic research and creative practice as methodologies for innovation and engagement
-
Ethical, human-centred approaches to digital cultural heritage
I bring experience in interdisciplinary collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and proposal development, and I am particularly interested in contributing to work packages focused on co-creation, accessibility and inclusion strategies, pilot implementation, and public engagement.
