As a trained cultural anthropologist with a strong network in the European digital cultural heritage sector, I wish to open up GLAM institution by digital means. In my view, this includes licenses as open as possible, high-quality data, rich metadata and participation of diverse audiences. In the past, I have both worked with national aggregators and cultural heritage institutions. With a background in research about digitization of cultural heritage and management of museums, I connect both academic and practice fields.
