MC candidate manifesto:
Museum, Library, Culture, Open Data and Cultural Commons
My priority tasks include developing frameworks for capacity building for ENA communities and stakeholder collaboration with cultural heritage institutions in my region. My expertise will bring creative and fresh ideas to the ENA communities.
As a regional champion, I hope to foster collaboration and increase the impact of Europeana and the common European data space in my region. I believe the ENA Members Council needs individuals who have the expertise to bridge the gap between cultural heritage and digital innovation.
