The Dive into Heritage (further: DIH) project aims to build an online platform to preserve and share World Heritage and related intangible heritage through digital technologies. The initiative offers digitised UNESCO World Heritage sites on the worldwide web, including 3D models, interactive maps, videos and images. In its First Phase (2022-2025), the platform focuses on World Heritage sites in the Arab States region, providing freely accessible detailed 3D models and digital narratives to engage visitors in understanding the sites' Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) by leveraging digital technologies.
UNESCO seeks qualified contractors to assess the overall performance of the DIH Project during the period under review, and to provide lessons learned and recommendations regarding its achievement of both expected and unexpected results, its relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, pathways towards impact and sustainability in raising public awareness about the importance of preserving UNESCO World Heritage and its associated intangible cultural heritage through digital technologies, as well as enhancing Member States' capacity to use these technologies for monitoring and preserving World Heritage sites.
The bidding company or organisation must have relevant experience in implementing projects, studies/research and/or evaluations in the area of culture, documentation, digital technologies and/or heritage digitization. Previous experience with UNESCO and/or the UN System will be considered as an asset. The activities are to be carried out over a period of approximately three months, with the aim of delivering the final report by the end of July 2025. Proposals must be submitted electronically (e-mail) no later than 30 April 2025, 23:59 Paris time to the following address clt.procurement [at] unesco.org (clt[dot]procurement[at]unesco[dot]org).
