Alez Culture! Past, present and Future of Europeana
For the past 5 years Europeana has developed from a political aspiration to unite Europe in diversity, to a full- blown operation, servicing a network of thousands of institutions accross Europe. The most tangible expression of this endeavour is a portal, which allows users to discover material from every member state and every domain in Europe. However, this represents only a small portion of all the treasures that have been digitized or should be digitized in the future. Europeana is now entering a new phase of its existence, where the focus will be even more than in the past on the contribution to the Creative Economy and Social Innovation. In this presentation we will explore the past, present and future scenarios of Europeana.
