MC candidate manifesto:

Digital Transformation, Research, Education, Creative Industries, User Engagement

My work is on the interplay of cultural heritage with academia, GLAM, and the creative industries. My aim is to foster collaboration between working groups and task forces whose work can effectively and appropriately promote cultural heritage through various sectors, from education to entertainment.

Establishing connections with local institutions in different sectors: academic, GLAM, and the creative industries. As I am working on collaborative projects between the UK, Italy, and Hungary, I can foster the creation of local hubs and promote Europeana projects locally and nationally.
