EuropeanaPhotography: Early Photography accessible in Europeana

Abstract – EuropeanaPhotography is an EU-funded digitization project that will provide Europeana with over 430.000 of the finest examples of early photography, for an impressive increase in the number of photos available in the Europeana. These photographs provide a unique insight into the evolution of European society and of the art of photography between the 19th and 20th century, which is a valuable source for research in many fields (history, economics, sociology…). EuropeanaPhotography will also enrich Europeana with materials from countries with a currently limited display, for a wider overview of European history.status: publishe

WeAre#EuropeForCulture Final report

WeAre#EuropeForCulture has been an initiative of the European Commission, in the scope of the activities supporting the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018. “The year 2018 has a symbolic and historical importance for Europe and its cultural heritage, as it marks a number of significant events such as the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and of the independence of several Member States as well as the 400th anniversary of the start of the Thirty Years' War. The European Year of Cultural Heritage can therefore offer opportunities to better understand the present through a richer and shared comprehension of the past.” After 2018, the priorities established and shared by many European citizens and institutions remain, together with the desire to continue and to extend what the European Year just triggered. For this reason, a new project was launched by the European Commission (DG EAC), namely WeAre#EuropeForCulture, calling for initiatives with a special focus on three priorities: encourage people-centred approaches, make cultural heritage more accessible and focus on young and elderly audiences. KU Leuven CS Digital, a research group in Cultural Studies and Digital Humanities with a focus on Digital Transformation in the GLAM sector, teamed up with PHOTOCONSORTIUM, an international non-profit organization for the promotion of photographic heritage, and Noterik BV, an SME specialized in the development of multi screen engagement tools to innovate social interaction leveraging on cultural heritage, to meet this challenge. Together, the consortium organised 10 co-creation events in different European countries with the active contribution of hundreds of European citizens, hosted by 10 cultural heritage institutions opening their premises to experiment with participatory approaches in real-life laboratories, and reaching out to communities outside of their institution walls, by showcasing the results of the co-creation process via interactive screens.status: publishe

CULTURAL HERITAGE LEADING URBAN FUTURES Actions and Innovations from ROCK PROJECT

The ROCK project sees historic city centres as laboratories to demonstrate how Cultural Heritage can be an engine of regeneration, sustainable development and economic growth. ROCK approach foresees the systemic and flexible application of a series of role-model practices in the testing sites of three Replicator cities, to turn historic city centres afflicted by physical decay, social conflicts and poor life quality into Creative and Sustainable Districts. This book provides an overview of the project, extracting themes, material and final remarks from the Open Knowledge Week \u201cCultural Heritage Leading Urban Futures\u201d, held on 27-30 October 2020. Over the past three years, ten ROCK cities \u2013 Athens, Bologna, Cluj-Napoca, Eindhoven, Lisbon, Liverpool, Lyon, Skopje, Turin, and Vilnius \u2013 together with service providers and knowledge brokers have tested and advanced numerous soft and hard tools, collaborative approaches aimed at shaping sustainable, heritage-led urban futures. This book shows their shared results, best practices and lessons learnt from interdisciplinary research, innovative action, dissemination of knowledge and creation of new synergies at the European level
