DIHE (Digital Intangible Heritage of Europe)

DIHE (Digital Intangible Heritage of Europe) is an R&D participatory cluster that channels its efforts towards creating a sustainable framework for communication with, and engagement of, all interested stakeholders in the field of digital intangible heritage — researchers, artists, cultural practitioners and institutions, SME’s from the creative and technology sectors, policy and decision making bodies.

Methodologically, DIHE aims at consolidating an interdisciplinary and cross-sec­toral approach spanning visitor and museum studies, interaction design, human-computer interaction, cultural studies and ethnography. This framework is currently augmented by integrating related fields such as cognitive and af­fective sciences, or cognitive semiotics — a younger discipline entirely dedicated to furthering a thor­ough understanding of meaning-making processes across modalities and communication channels.
