Beth Daley
Editorial Adviser , Europeana Foundation
Every quarter we bring you a round-up of what's been going on across the Europeana Initiative. Highlights from January to March 2021 include great opportunities for participation, a fascinating editorial theme about Artificial Intelligence, celebrations of the public domain and strategic steps on the road to supporting the cultural heritage sector in its digital transformation.
With a new year came new ways to participate - there were opportunities to take our MOOC for education, enter the EuropeanaTech Artificial Intelligence challenge or submit a proposal for funding for a research video!
The Europeana Initiative's mission is to empower the cultural heritage sector in its digital transformation. But what is digital transformation? We shared the definition you helped us shape. Also - discover what motivates the Europeana Foundation in its new business plan, and meet the newly established Diversity and Inclusivity team.
With lowered barriers to access and the development of new practices for Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI-related activities and opportunities in the cultural heritage sector are increasing. A series of articles on Europeana Pro explored many aspects of AI and digital culture.
A new year always starts with a celebration of creativity and all things public domain with Public Domain Day. We shared some public domain favourites, celebrated the winners of the 'Reinventing Beethoven' competition and explored how open digital culture and Wikipedia can be used to light up minds in education.
