Why are we asking for your help?
Because the budget under which Europeana was to be funded from 2015 onwards has been slashed from 9 billion euros to 1 billion. We are still in the running but we are now in direct competition with health, justice and safer internet programmes. If we lose the funding, much of the hard work we have put in will be wasted. More information on this on our dedicated campaign page.
Europeana works with galleries, libraries, archives and museums in every European country to make knowledge and culture available online. We connect everyone in Europe with their shared history and heritage – 27 million books, pictures, films and recordings so far. With our partners across Europe, we’re pioneering new ways to engage people in culture through websites, apps, software and social media, through sharing our expertise, business models and code, and through services for education and tourism. Europe needs our innovation – there’s faster progress in the digital sector than most other areas of the economy.
Supporting Europeana is supporting Europe. None of us can afford to lose a service that is both good for people and good for the economy. So please pledge your support by signing the petition and sharing it however and wherever you can.
