The ubiquity of digital technology is revolutionising the way we access, preserve, and make cultural heritage part of our lives, to the point where there is an urgent need for professionals who can navigate the intersection between cultural heritage and digital technology. Recognising this trend, a number of universities across Europe have begun to incorporate digital cultural heritage within their degree programmes.

As part of the Europeana Foundation’s efforts to build synergies with academia and support new professionals, this event features a roundtable discussion about innovative approaches to equip the professionals of the future with skills that are increasingly essential in the cultural heritage sector. It seeks to highlight emerging trends, identify gaps in current educational offerings and explore strategies to better achieve this objective.

As MA programme coordinators at their respective universities, the speakers will share their insights, challenges and solutions related to the design and implementation of teaching and learning initiatives that integrate digital cultural heritage. The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the speakers in a Q/As session. New professionals are particularly welcome to share their experiences on the route from higher education to working life.
