Corvinus Communication Science Doctoral Program

Last Thursday, May 28, the Corvinus Communication Science PhD program held its annual Spring Research Forum, which consisted of three large roundtables and a working lunch. It was an experiment with a different format for our forum, allowing students working on similar research areas to address larger questions specific to their shared interests. We also worked together to come up with some new programming for the 2026-27 academic year that would allow us to continue these conversations.

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬: Generative AI and Cultural Heritage. University of Turin, Italy, 29-30 October 2026
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: June 30, 2026

Cultural heritage – defined as the tangible and intangible legacy that is passed down from generation to generation – has always been sensitive to technological innovation. From photography to film, from computing to the Internet, from social media to virtual reality, cultural preservation, exhibition, communication and memory has been informed by the introduction of media innovations, and institutions such as museums, archives and libraries have often been early adopters of new technologies. Technological companies such as internet platforms have also been active in protecting and innovating cultural heritage for either commercial or public purposes. The development of Generative AI signals a new episode in this trajectory. Systems such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and text-to-image models provide new resources for institutions, platforms, practitioners, and users to engage with the historical record, produce text and audiovisuals related to cultural heritage, and access historical sources. Through a combination of interdisciplinary keynotes, paper presentations and roundtables, this conference aims to illuminate the implications of these emerging practices and approaches.
