"Digital transitions in the Cultural Heritage Sector"

New technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic have undoubtedly changed the cultural content-sharing scene impacting cultural heritage institutions in a considerable manner. Further uses of their collections, new modes of access to the cultural content and even new business models have raised in the digital era. The relevance of these aspects have even been increased during this unprecedented time of accelerated digital transformation.

This session is a brief introduction to rights management in cultural organizations, focussing on sharing collections sustainably and meaningfully. During the session we aim at gathering information and best practices from cultural institutions on how their cultural content is shared online: from their relationship with rights holders to their relationship with users through the uses of their cultural resources.

Through a number of case studies from cultural institutions we attempt to sketch an insight of current trends and challenges, and generate response from the sector through discussion during the session and the inDICEs’ participatory platform. 

This will also give the opportunity to cultural institutions to engage in interesting discussions within the inDICEs platform in the coming future and to connect with other institutions.
