Marco De Niet
Supervisory Board member
Manager, Research & Education Services Division & Deputy DirectorLeiden University LibrariesNetherlands, NLAcademic Research
In September 2017 I moved to Leiden University Libraries (UBL), to become responsible for all physical and digital services provided by the library to the academic community and beyond. Before UBL I was director at the DEN Foundation, the Dutch knowledge institute for digitisation in the cultural sector. In that capacity, I was a driving force behind crossdomain collaboration and statistical and impact research on digital heritage. I have been involved with Europeana from the very beginning, including collaborations preceding Europeana, when working at the KB, the national library of the Netherlands until 2004.
In this post, we explore what motivates people to join the ENA, and outline how we aim to build on and harness their experience to engage them in new ways.
The Europeana Network Association is a democratic community of cultural heritage professionals who work together to plan activities and priorities each year. In this post we explore the documents which were approved by the Association in 2019, how these influence plans for 2020 and how you can get involved!
2019 has been a year of changes for the Europeana Network Association (ENA), which continues to work to promote digital cultural heritage as a powerful agent in an ever-changing world. In this post, Marco de Niet, Chair of the Europeana Network Association (ENA), tells us about the highlights and main achievements of the ENA in 2019 and outlines some of the priorities for 2020.

It is with great pride and immense pleasure that we can present to you the new Management Board of the Europeana Network Association (alphabetically): Georgia Angelaki, Stephan Bartholmei, Sara Di Giorgio, Marco de Niet, Frederik Truyen and Erwin Verbruggen. As the new Chair, Marco will explain how the Management Board will operate and also highlight the Board’s aspirations and vision for the Europeana Network Association in the next two years.
Everybody wants to understand the impact of their work better, but for many the process can seem daunting. In this case study, we hear from Leiden University Libraries’ Marco de Niet on their novel approach to an impact workshop.
