iFrame Project – workshop exploring research data management [Dec 5, in person, HEAnet Dublin]

Join the iFrame project for a workshop exploring research data management in Irish Higher Education Organisations (HEOs) and Research Performing Organisations (RPOs).


đź“ŤHEAnet 93/94 North Wall Quay, Dublin
đź“… 5 December 2025, 11am-4pm

The iFrame project is a NORF-funded investigation into the support for research data management in Irish HEOs and RPOs, which will conclude with the production of a National Framework for supporting RMD in Ireland.

At this workshop, iFrame will present the collated findings from the individual investigations of RDM support conducted in several Irish HEOs so far.

Drawing on examples of good (and best) practice, they will discuss how to learn from one another across institutions and how to improve RDM support in all institutions and on a national level. The ideas and thoughts generated and discussed in this workshop will inform the development of the framework document.

Playing with culture: games as heritage, from preservation to reuse [Nov 26, online, @14:00 CET]

Europeana Webinar – Playing with culture: games as heritage, from preservation to reuse

Video games are an engaging way to interact with cultural heritage – entertaining a captive audience with historical periods, facts and with tangible and intangible culture. In this webinar we will explore the video game as a cultural artefact in its own right.

This webinar is organised by Europeana Foundation in association with EFGAMP (European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects)

Video games can also be seen as cultural artefacts which require careful preservation, that can be reused in their own right, and whose gameplay is in itself a form of intangible heritage. In this webinar we will explore the video game as a cultural artefact – diving into preservation, archiving, and reuse case studies with speakers from EFGAMP network, before discovering some of the ways that video games can be used to disseminate digital cultural heritage material with other speakers. This will be followed by a panel discussion with the speakers.

Confirmed speakers are:

  • Andreas Lange, European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects
  • Winfried Bergmeyer, International Computer Game Collection
  • Wytze Koppelman, Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision
  • Gabriele Aroni, Manchester University
  • Lucia Gambardella, Studio Macaco
  • Hosted by Fiona Mowat, Europeana Foundation

Funeral for Ashes: Combining Art, Ecology, and Immersive Technology [Nov 18, Online and in person, @12pm]. University of Galway Centre for Creative Technologies.

Funeral for Ashes: Combining Art, Ecology, and Immersive Technology

Date & Time: 12pm, Tuesday 18th November

Location: Studio 3, O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance, University of Galway

Join artists Conor Maloney and John Conneely for an in-depth masterclass on Funeral for Ashes, an immersive installation honouring Ireland’s endangered ash woodlands. Blending TouchDesigner, Bitwig Studio, LiDAR, and photogrammetry, the work transforms ecological data and human movement into a living, responsive environment of sound and light.


In this session, the artists will unpack the creative and technical process behind the piece — from 3D scanning native trees to synchronising generative audio and real-time visuals — and discuss how digital art can serve as both ritual and environmental reflection.
