MC candidate manifesto:

Research, Open Data, Usable, Library, Archive

After decades of ever intensifying digitisation efforts, only a fraction of collections is truly accessible and usable. I will do my best so that the unresolved issues of 2D are not left on the side of the 3D road, with on focus on FAIR principles and usability of technical developments.

The European Data Space for CH (and the collaborative cloud) are immense opportunities that should truly benefit every actor in the GLAM sector (and their users). It's important to engage with them at all levels.
