Project ECHOES at Digitization in Museums Conference

Project ECHOES at Digitization in Museums Conference

The lasting effect of information was the theme of the third edition of Digitization in Museums Conference and the accompanying discussion forum. The event took place in the National Museum of Technology in Warsaw on 21 and 22 November 2024. Błażej Betański from the Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department of PSNC represented the our Center, elaborating on ECHOES – a platform enabling cooperation in the field of cultural heritage.

The aim of the ECHOES project (which stands for European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science) is to create the so-called European Cultural Heritage Cloud (ECCCH) – a shared platform designed to provide heritage professionals and researchers with access to data, scientific resources, training, and advanced digital tools tailored to suit their needs. It is funded by the European Commission and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) that brings together fragmented communities of the Cultural Heritage field into a new community around the Digital Commons. ECHOES is meant to go beyond basic digitization and spark transformation in this field through its holistic approach.
