To celebrate the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAH), Europeana Subtitled partners Europeana and EUscreen are partnering with UNESCO Netherlands Commission to bring you a half day showcase of current developments in preserving and making available and accessible audiovisual heritage. This will be combined with hands-on training on machine translation and automatic speech recognition to help you put what you learn into practice. Suitable for people working in or with audiovisual heritage institutions and/or working with audiovisual heritage (for example researchers, creatives, wikimedians, volunteers at local archives) this three hour event is online, free and open to all.
