Succeed Awards - Call for Nominations

main image

Are you involved in text digitisation? If so, then now's the time to enter the Succeed Awards!

Succeed is a support action funded by the European Union. It promotes the take up and validation of research results in mass digitisation, with a focus on textual content.

The Succeed awards will recognise the successful implementation of a digitisation programme, especially those exploiting the latest technology and the output of research for the digitisation of historical text.

Winning an award means that your project will be recognised as a leading initiative and will be promoted as such world-wide. The winners will be invited to an awards ceremony at the Digitisation Days event (19-20 May in Madrid) at which distinguished personalities and leading institutions in the digitisation domain will be present.

Institutions with active digitisation programmes are eligible for the awards. Consortia are also eligible if represented for this purpose by a single institution. Members of the Succeed consortium cannot apply for the awards.

So what are the judging criteria?

The committee will take into account:

  1. Evidence of the results (efficiency, quality) produced by integration of technology in the digitisation workflow.
  2. Extensibility (potential replication/adaptation) of the experience to other institutions.
  3. Impact on the preservation of cultural heritage.
  4. Sustainability, coordination with other initiatives, collaborative character.

Deadlines

Nominations must be received before February 15, 2014 (23:59, CET) and the results will be announced before April 15, 2014.
