MC candidate manifesto:

Library, Digital Transformation, Research, Policy, Innovation

I am drawn to this opportunity because of Europeana's role in fostering collaboration among memory institutions across Europe and shaping the future of digital cultural heritage, which is at the core of my interests, and to strengthen the Balkans' presence in the ENA's network.

I led significant digitization initiatives and advocated for the importance of digital preservation in cultural institutions. These roles have honed my skills in governance, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement, as well as in connecting national initiatives within international framework.
