Projects
Many of Europeana's partners take part in one or more projects related to Europeana. The European Commission has co-funded, mainly through its CIP ICT-PSP Programme (Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme), a number of European projects see the Europeana Group. In 2011 there are 25+ projects in the Europeana Group, Europeana is a consortium partner in 11 of them.
For future project proposals and initiatives evolving around Europe, Europeana publishes calls for possible project proposals. These invite institutions to present their project proposals to Europeana. Through an evaluation process, Europeana then decides whether it will become a consortium or a subcontract partner within these projects. However, as Europeana does not have the resources to act as a consortium partner in all potential projects, it is now focusing more heavily on subcontracting. By 2013 Europeana expects to be subcontracted in 20+ projects. This process guarantees that the new project, as well as Europeana, can benefit from the new innovation underway.
The categorisation of the projects below is based on the main aim of the project defined in their Description of Work. The main purpose of a project can be categorised to delivery content and technology, mainly technology or mainly content.
