Europeana 2022 - making digital culture count took place from 28 - 30 September 2022. As a hybrid conference, it welcomed cultural heritage professionals from around the world both on-site, at the KB, National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague, and digitally. The conference explored how we can collaboratively build a common data space for cultural heritage and raised voices from across the sector to empower digital transformation and explore the role digital cultural heritage plays in today’s and tomorrow’s world.
Day one saw us explore how we can build the data space for cultural heritage. On day two participants found out how storytelling, cultural heritage, and digital come together to connect institutions with audiences and with the trends, hot topics and major issues of today. On Day three we heard from EuropeanaTech on how technology paves the way to digital inclusion and cultural heritage preservation.
