This webinar will bring together policymakers and experts from Denmark and across Europe, engaging a broad online audience alongside a selected group of onsite participants. It will build on the insights and discussions from the Europeana Network Association’s Cross-Community Workshop on Culture for AI, taking place during the day and a half preceding the webinar.
With a policy focus, this webinar will translate key insights from the ENA professional workshop into a forward-looking discussion on cultural heritage and AI. It will highlight outcomes of the Alignment Assembly on Culture for AI - a collective intelligence and participatory exercise launched in May 2025 - and their policy implications, and reflect the Danish Presidency’s emphasis on culture and the intersection of copyright and AI.
Among the key topics, the webinar will explore how to harness the potential of AI for cultural heritage, and conversely, how cultural heritage data can contribute to the European AI economy. Discussions will also address the openness of cultural heritage data, relevant policy pathways, and the investments needed in skills, infrastructure and supporting measures.
By showcasing how artificial intelligence can strengthen the competitiveness of the cultural sector, Denmark reaffirms its position as both a cultural and digital leader. This event offers a unique platform to advance national priorities, address shared challenges and collectively shape how AI can drive the growth and scaling of the common European data space for cultural heritage — a space jointly built and co-owned by Denmark and all EU Member States.
The webinar will be livestreamed - join and watch through this link on 28 October.
