Cultural Heritage and digital tools
In 2022, Jean Monnet University - Saint-Étienne, its Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Environment - City - Society Laboratory (UMR 5600 - CNRS) launched a series of annual international seminars on the use of digital tools (geomatics, 3D, sound reconstruction, etc.) for the study and management of cultural heritage. Given the success of previous editions, both among Master's students and colleagues and professionals, the seminar series will continue, with a new edition to be held on February 4, 2026

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

The Art Museum in the Digital Age (2026)
This international online conference explores the complex interrelations between truth, fake and falsified information, and knowledge authority in the context of digital transformation processes. In light of increasing disinformation, AI-generated content, and algorithmic bias, museums face the challenge of rethinking their role as trusted spaces for knowledge dissemination. At the same time, digital technologies open up new possibilities for participation, contextualization, and translation. At the heart of the conference is the question of how museums can assume digital responsibility and actively contribute to fostering an open and reflective information culture.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Constraints and Sources of Innovation in Research
The visualization of archaeological results can clarify, while at the same time also obscure ; walking the line of simplification for public consumption, disagreements or misunderstandings among experts and color codes/omissions can blur the lines of where exactly uncertainty lies. Yet these constraints stimulate invention, participation, and new data. Sharing research findings with a general audience may result in oversimplification, while visualizing 3D models or other visual aids can lead to misunderstandings among experts. The limitations of visualization, such as colour coding, the omission of details, and inadequate information can lead to overanalysis, obscure uncertainty or skew tentative conclusions.

Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
Worked shells in the ancient world
Material, use, typology, chronology and contexts
We are glad to inform you that an international e-conference on worked shells in the ancient world will take place on May 20, 2026 on Zoom.us. This forthcoming online meeting will be an archaeomalacological workshop in honour of Jean-Paul Descœudres from the Universities of Geneva and Sydney. Papers are invited to present evidence of human collection and modification of shells from all over the ancient world (especially the Mediterranean) and over a large chronological range (from Prehistory to Antiquity with a focus on the Roman world). We are interested in worked shells rather than those used as food or as environmental indicators.

Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day
The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.

Comrade Consumer: Shopping, Style, and Desire on Socialist Screens
To many casual viewers, socialist cinema from Central Europe and the Soviet Union rarely evokes images of beauty parlors, leisurely shopping, or browsing exotic groceries—let alone consumer abundance and hired domestic help. Yet throughout the relatively “liberal” 1960s, the murky 1970s, and the tentative promise of the 1980s, nationalized film and television studios in the Polish People’s Republic, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR frequently returned to shopping as pastime, leisure, and aspiration, constructing surprisingly layered images of consumption under socialism.

Towards more professionalized esports practices?
For the first joint conference organized between Montpellier University and HSB-VNU, we decided to dig into conditions of professionalization and sustainability of esports. In particular, the objective is to gather pieces of work from several different disciplines in order to explore the interests, the limitations and tensions that are connected to the professional structuration of esports. This conference therefore aims to provide a global and critical approach by questioning both the practices of esports stakeholders and the methods mobilized by scholars.

Transnational Research for a Wider Impact
The Role of Cultural Heritage in a Changing World
This event synthesizes the findings from 22 transnational research projects to explore the societal impact of cultural heritage research through five interconnected thematic axes. The first axis examines methodological innovations in digital heritage, analyzing the transformative potential of technologies such as AI, virtual modeling, and advanced data analytics in research and protection. The second investigates participatory and co-creative frameworks for community engagement, assessing their role in sustaining heritage, reinforcing identity, and fostering social cohesion for sustainable development.
