Digital transformation and curation in GLAM: valorisation of digital humanities research (DigitGLAM)

DigitGLAM will offer consultancy services and expertise to Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) and their networks in the fields of digital curation, digital transformation and the use of digital technologies for user engagement. In doing so, we aim to become (i) the most obvious partner for Flemish and European GLAM institutions when preparing funding applications related to GLAM, and (ii) a leading expertise center for these institutions when struggling with the implementation of digital, collection-based work-flows. The IOF mandate will substantially expand on our existing track record in valorisation projects for the GLAM sector, increase participation in European and Belgian/Flemish funding calls. It will strengthen our contribution within KU Leuven to the recently started HERKUL and DigiSoc institutes.
