European Museum Collaboration and Innovation Space

The project

Museums and cultural organisations have been hit by the COVID-19 crisis, some of them significantly, by the loss in revenues. At the same time, the crisis has speeded up the digital transformation of the sector.

Digital technologies become central to almost every aspect of the work of museums to meet the new realities. On one hand, digital means can offer solutions in relation to museums’ functions, from the collection of artefacts to their conservation and study, and from the interpretation and exhibition of museum collections to marketing and to managing online and onsite visitors. On the other hand, there is a huge potential for innovation and experimentation using advanced technologies and for collaboration between the cultural, creative and technology sectors, in an inclusive way.

Investing in digital technologies is essential for museums to innovate and to adapt to new circumstances.
