HACKATHON & WEBINAR: The Use of UAV Technology in Jewish Heritage Preservation

It is with great pleasure that the ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative invites you to take part in a EU-funded Webinar and Hackathon under the ‘Preserving Jewish Cemeteries’ grant online on 19th & 20th June.

With sessions on the application of drones in the work of the ESJF from Office Manager, Alexander Bessarab and on the useage of historical maps in hertiage preservation from the ESJF's Historical Researcher, Dr Katerina Malakhova as well as workshops on photogrammetry and Pix4d from Drones Specialist, Hlib Lisovyi and Pix4d Senior Technical Trainer and content creator, Ryan Hughes, you will learn all you need to know about the interesting intersection of UAV technology and Jewish heritage preservation.

The Hackathon will be concluded with a technical assignment using Pix4d and the ESJF’s data to specify potentially dangerous site territories. Three prizes will be awarded to the students who perform the best! 

Applications are welcome from across the globe. To take part in the Hackathon, you will need access to a laptop or computer and the internet as well as the software: Pix4d. To get access, we recommend registering at the Pix4d to receive test license: www.pix4d.com/

Thank you for your registration! 

This workshop is organised within the framework of the EU funded preparatory action “Protecting the Jewish Cemeteries of Europe”, which is undertaken by a consortium led by the ESJF together with the Foundation for Jewish Heritage and Centropa. 

It builds on two previous ESJF led pilot projects also funded by the EU, which focused on surveying and mapping Jewish burial sites over 3000 Jewish burial sites using cutting edge drone technology. The results of this research, that can be found online through an open access database, revealed the perilous condition of Jewish burial sites with 44% needing urgent protection.
