Podcast EUcropolis EP. 4: Data space for cultural heritage – A new frontier

Data and our online presence are increasingly at the center of the public debate: how to organize and protect them? The cultural heritage sector must also ask itself these questions. The European Union’s answer is simple and complex at the same time: the common European data space for cultural heritage.

So, the Europeana Initiative rose up to the task.

This episode explores what the common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage is, what its objectives are and how the sector can benefit from it. Michael Culture is one of the partners in this European initiative. Come on this journey, where three people will accompany us: Harry Verwayen from the Europeana Foundation, Rob Davies from the Europeana Network Association and Marie-Véronique Leroi, chair of the Europeana Aggregators Forum.

This is “A new frontier – Data Space for Cultural Heritage”
