MC candidate manifesto:

Innovation; Research; Technical Development; Open data; Digital Transformation

The European Cloud for cultural Heritage, the EOSC & E-RIHS are all situated in the research sphere and I want to be the ambassador to bring the DS for cultural heritage & the DS for research and innovation, closer together. I will continue as a member of the WG Innovative Operating Models.

I’m actually an ambassador for the Data Space for Cultural Heritage: promoting events, ENA membership, funding, training, AI 4 CH, 3D technologies (Twinit3D) and policies on digital cultural heritage and preservation to our Belgian and European authorities and stakeholders. Ask around.
