Projects

Europeana Foundation leads the deployment of the common European data space for cultural heritage. Throughout the years, we have also participated in other EU funded projects to support cultural heritage institutions in their digital transformation. Focus areas vary from digitisation and aggregation of high-quality data to technological innovation, reuse and capacity building.
