Historiana workshop moderated by Steven Stegers - EUROCLIO, Helen Snelson - University of York

Explore different ways cultural heritage institutions and museum educators can use digitised sources in history education. This EUROCLIO workshop will present peer-reviewed eLearning Activities developed by history educators using Europeana sources, and explain both the reasoning and research theory underpinning them. There will be a focus on how you can easily adapt these to create your own eLearning Activities to suit a variety of collections.

Could your institution integrate its collections into educational activities? Would you be willing to collaborate with others on this? We'll close the session with a brainstorm on these questions.

3D Task Force seminar moderated by Kate Fernie - 2Culture Associates

3D digitisation of cultural heritage has become more common in recent years and organisations are increasingly looking for ways of using 3D data, and for ways of integrating with other file types in Europeana Collections.

This one-day workshop will bring together a panel from members of the 3D Content in Europeana Task Force to discuss recent work and to talk about standards, formats and platforms that support 3D data. This workshop will provide an opportunity to share results, exchange knowledge about state-of-the-art opportunities for collaboration and discuss the next steps for using 3D more effectively in the digital cultural heritage sector.

EOSC moderated by Sara de Giorgio - Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of Italian Libraries and Bibliographic Information

This workshop will introduce the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), discuss the opportunities its creation offers the cultural heritage sector and provide an overview of the infrastructures behind its development.

It will address the challenges and opportunities that the establishment of EOSC is posing to cultural heritage institutions. Since cultural heritage is a primary source for research in Social Sciences and Humanities, it will offer food for thought about the positioning of cultural heritage institutions within this ecosystem by:

- presenting best practices already put in place for data or services sharing
- discussing specific solutions for digital cultural heritage in compliance with the FAIR principles
- inviting the audience to identify and plan activities for gathering requirements from the cultural heritage sector as a potential stakeholder in EOSC.

Music to my ears: making rights understandable moderated by Juozas Markauskas - Dizi

Are you an educator struggling to identify content to use for your learning activities? Are you looking for fun ways to teach your students or colleagues about copyright?


To use cultural heritage in education, research and creation, we have to make copyright our ally. This workshop helps you to understand more about licences and rights statements - how they work, what they mean for the reuse of content, and which ones to choose when you label cultural heritage for reuse or even when you create your own art.

Juozas and Jurga bring to all Europeana communities interested in rights labelling, their established approach to engaging Lithuanian arts and music students with rights statements through teamwork, workshops and a smartphone app. Experience a playful approach to learning about licensing. Get ready to create, learn, label and reuse..

Speakers: Juozas Markauskas - Dizi, Jurga Gradauskaite - Independent attorney-at-law

Talk to the European Commission! moderated by Kari Hadjivassiliou – ICF SA, and Saredo Mohamed – ICF SA


Do you want to have your say on future EU policy in the digital cultural heritage sector? The European Commission will soon be launching a consultation which will influence the direction of future funding and other policies and initiatives at European, national and regional levels.


In this workshop led by the European Commission, you will have the opportunity to discuss in person the kind of public interventions you think are needed, at EU, national or other levels, in order to address the main challenges of digital transformation in the cultural heritage sector. What should the role of Europeana and its ecosystem be?

How to implement the FAIR principles in digital culture moderated by Sara Di Giorgio - Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of Italian Libraries and Bibliographic Information

Do you work with FAIR - the set of guiding principles to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable? How do you deal with the tech issues that the implementation of FAIR principles poses to your organisation? Did you know that FAIR will be really valuable if your institution decides to join the European Open Science Cloud?

In this session, the EuropeanaTech and Research communities lead a discussion of the practical issues related to FAIR implementation across the cultural heritage and research sectors. Saskia Scheltjens, head of Research Services at the Rijksmuseum, will talk about the implementation of FAIR data principles in a large art historical museum. Drawing on his experience leading a working group on FAIR within the Research Data Alliance, Makx Dekkers will discuss crucial aspects of evaluating the ‘FAIRness’ of your data. A panel discussion follows and we look forward to hearing your voice there!


Speakers: Saskia Scheltjens - Rijksmuseum & Makx Dekkers - Research Data Alliance 

Panel: Seamus Ross - University of Toronto, Franco Niccolucci - PARTHENOS, Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra - DARIAH

Achieving inclusivity and diversity in the Europeana Network Association moderated by Killian Downing - The National Archives of Ireland and Julia Fallon - Europeana Foundation

What does inclusivity and diversity mean to you? Join us to explore how the Europeana Network Association can work towards becoming a welcoming, inclusive and transparent community that encourages diversity in all its forms and is accessible to everyone who wishes to engage with cultural heritage and Europeana.

This session will explore how we can work together towards fair representation and diversity. We will address:

1. Social inclusion: no-one is excluded based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or on any other characteristic or preference.

2. Professional inclusion: members and professionals are welcomed openly and equitably.

3. Technical inclusion: skills, tools, aggregated data and capabilities should be available to all but also representative of the diversity in our society.

Speakers: Tola Dabiri - UK Centre for Carnival Arts, Larissa Borck - Swedish National Heritage Board

Opportunities for digital cultural heritage and the public domain, under the EU Copyright Rules moderated by Paul Keller

What do the new EU copyright rules mean for your institution? How can they open up possibilities for sharing and using digital cultural heritage? What does this mean for the public domain?

With the EU Copyright Digital Single Market Directive being implemented across Europe over the next 18 months, now is an opportunity to learn what this means for research, education and reuse.

Bringing together perspectives from the Europeana Research, Copyright and Education communities, our speakers explain the new rules and their impact on the re-use of content, explore copyright scenarios from our data partners and the audience as well as help you to get your networks engaged in conversations around copyright.

Finally, Sebastiaan ter Burg tells us about the activities happening internationally on 1 January - public domain day. Let’s celebrate making content available for everyone to enjoy!

Speakers:
Steven Stegers - EUROCLIO, Sebastiaan Ter Burg- Open Nederland, Dr. Antje Schmidt - Head of Digital Strategy, Museum für Kunst und Gewebe Hamburg, Jurga Gradauskaite - Attorney-at-law, Lithuania (and member of the Copyright Community Steering Group)

EuropeanaTech Unconference moderated by Clemens Neudecker - Berlin State Library

Do you want to talk all things tech? Have you got a burning question you’d like members of the EuropeanaTech community to respond to? Then join the EuropeanaTech Unconference.

EuropeanaTech is the community of experts, developers and researchers from the R&D sector within the wider Europeana Network Association. It provides the expertise and technical know-how that allows Europeana to keep growing and improving. Together, we make sure that Europeana doesn’t just keep up-to-date where technology is concerned; it leads the way.

In this EuropeanaTech Unconference, we’re opening the floor to the community. Share your questions, concerns, problems and goals in a moderated setting. Use the open call for discussion topics and you will help set the agenda on the day by voting for the topics you want to see opened up.

Communicating the value of digital culture to stakeholders moderated by Susan Hazan - The Israel Museum, Jerusalem

How effective are you at demonstrating your impact when you engage with your stakeholders? Are you confident you understand what they need to know about the value of digital cultural heritage? And how does that relate to the objectives you need to promote for your own organisation?

To inform their decision-making, stakeholders in the cultural heritage sector need information about the value and impact of the sector’s activities. In this session, the Europeana Impact and Communicators communities help you look at how to translate the value of your activities into communications that are relevant to and support your stakeholders’ agendas.

In this workshop, you’ll hear our presenters’ share their own experiences and then take part in a workshop in which you can exchange your views, challenges and experiences and take positive steps towards translating your impact into effective stakeholder communication. What we uncover together will help to shape the next stages of the Europeana Impact Playbook and give the Europeana Communicators food for thought for the development of useful resources and activities to support you.
