UTS and Tallinn University Advance Collaboration in Digital Culture Preservation
University of Technology Sarawak and Tallinn University are strengthening collaboration in digital culture preservation, building on an existing MoU and recent academic exchanges involving staff and doctoral students.
University of Technology Sarawak and Tallinn University are advancing their collaboration in digital culture preservation, consolidating an ongoing partnership grounded in a standing Memorandum of Understanding between UTS and the School of Digital Technologies.
At the end of February, Professors Tariq Zaman and Shaista Falaq, together with doctoral student Marcella Peter, visited the School of Digital Technologies. The visit focused on engaging students from the Human-Computer Interaction and Digital Learning Games programmes, with the aim of fostering interest in future joint initiatives in digital culture preservation.
Following the visit, Marcella Peter remained in Tallinn for an additional month, delivering a series of seminars and collaborating with doctoral researchers working on related topics. These activities contributed to deepening academic exchange and identifying concrete avenues for joint research and capacity building.
The collaboration builds on the existing MoU, which commits both institutions to mutual support in areas such as interaction design and learning technologies, and provides a foundation for sustained cooperation in digitally enabled cultural heritage practices.
