We’re really looking forward to Europeana 2021 taking place between 10-12 November 2021. In light of last year's successful digital conference and with ongoing uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re planning for another online celebration of digital cultural heritage. If you work in or around digital cultural heritage, Europeana 2021 is for you.
May: Last year, our call for proposals really caught the imagination of the sector and we received hundreds of fantastic proposals. In May we’ll finalise the selection committee and open up the call for proposals for the conference via our social media channels and email to network members.
June: Over 1,600 of you registered for last year’s conference and made it an engaging, thoughtful and welcoming space. We’ll open up the registration for Europeana 2021 in June, and hope to see even more of you get involved.
July: The deadline for the call for proposals is likely to be in early July, and we hope to let all applicants know the outcome by the end of the month.
September: We’ll be announcing the programme in September 2021. Expect three thought-provoking and interactive days of expert speakers, panel discussions, workshops and more.
If you’d like to be the first to hear about our call for proposals, tickets, programme and more - complete our short form below.
