The European scenario: JPI
Joint programming initiative on Cultural Heritage chaired by Italy: "Cultural Heritage and Global Change: a new challenge for Europe“ - EC Recommendation 26/4/2010The approach: to involve Member States, engaging on a variable-geometry basis, in:– defining, – developing and – implementing strategic research agendas
JPI endorsed DC-NET
Our vision
– To investigate the possibility of an infrastructure for the research in the digital cultural heritage
– To further develop the national/regional frameworks of cooperation with content providers
– To establish a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministries of Culture and the e-Infrastructure providers (National Research and Educational Networks-NREN, National Grid Initiatives-NGI)
The project approach
• Development of a plan of joint activities
• Dissemination, training and awareness initiatives
• Advocacy towards policy makers• Cooperation with Europeana
Europeana
• Europeana could benefit of such digital cultural heritage e-infrastructure
• It will be possible to define together added value services
• The training and awareness initiatives planned by DC-NET will be useful to understand better what the e-infrastructures can offer to the cultural institutions and to Europeana
