Summary:

"Europeana Space aims to increase and enhance the creative industries’ use of digital cultural content and Europeana by delivering a range of resources to support their engagement. The use of content is still limited by factors including the issue of IPR status and the need for robust business models that demonstrate the potential for exploitation of available content. In addressing these problems, Europeana Space brings together high-level expertise from the European creative industries, technology-based enterprises, the cultural heritage sector and higher education. Objectives Europeana Space will create new opportunities for employment and economic growth within the creative industries based upon Europe’s rich digital cultural resources. It will provide an open environment for the development of applications and services based upon digital cultural content. The use of this environment will be fostered by a wide programme of promotion, dissemination and replication of the Best Practices developed within the project. Europeana Space addresses three key drivers of creative empowerment: Ensuring access to digital cultural content, with a particular focus on the Europeana content eco-system, via the Technical Space, a technical framework consisting of an ICT-based infrastructure and associated tools Providing guidelines, tools and methods for managing IPR, clearing copyright and exchanging open content, via the Content Space Fostering creative entrepreneurship in the Innovation Space, an environment for exploitation of content, applications and services, supporting creative enterprises (particularly SMEs) through product development, incubation and identification of routes to market. In addition, Europeana Space will create six thematic Pilots to showcase scenarios developed in this environment. Europeana Space is an open network of organisations, ready to share expertise and knowledge resources to create a vast open innovation eco-system. To this end, Europeana Space will welcome any new member that shares our mission to empower Europe’s creative industries ..."
