MC candidate manifesto:
Network, Museum, Innovation, History, Reliable
As an expert creator of digital content for cultural heritage (digitization, metadata, digital storytelling, applications), I could be useful to a Europeana-think tank. As a natural innovator, I could contribute to developing new usage to Europana content through a co-design process.
As leader of the DigiSmALL network of small museums and well-connected to European partners/content providers, I would like to contribute to the outreach activities of Europeana in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain and create focal hubs. As a CultTech lecturer, I could try to make UoPa focal point.
