✨ ☁️ And as final part of the afternoon at the #ECHOES annual meeting in Poznan today - a side-by-side discussion of how the European Data Space (for Cultural Heritage) relates to the Culture Cloud (and the hashtag#ECHOES project) by #Europeana Director Harry Verwayen and #ECHOES Coordinator Xavier Rodier.

🤝 In a nutshell, the Data Space is a more permanent space for cultural data access & reuse (it's public infrastructure) and the Cloud is a processing workspace for digital collaboration and the advancement of science & research. Crucially - the added value for all stakeholders involved - comes at the space of intersection - when the two initiatives can work in synergy as spaces for knowledge building and exchange. The slide images really paint a clear picture... in theory looks great, putting it in practice will be the hard work ahead of all teams involved over the next 5 years.

📜 A joint statement signed by both initiatives (on stage) should be officially published very soon, too!

💬 Discussions with the sister projects during the final part of the afternoon in the #ECHOES (Culture Cloud) annual meeting. Not only learning more about what each of the 10 specialised projects (alongside @ECHOLOT_Project) will focus on in terms of tool development, community building and case studies, but crucially - discussing how we can start collaborating. Where lie the community fault lines - where there is space for additional outreach and collaboration, where there is need for integration and resource sharing? I can get behind this effort to avoid duplication of effort and ultimately not waste taxpayer funding.

💫 Just the beginning of the discussion of course, and much more activities planned ahead, including the Integration Task Force workshop planned for tomorrow.

🎬 The @ECHOLOT_Project is at the second annual meeting of the #ECHOES (the European Culture Heritage Cloud) in Poznań, Poland, this week.

📅 Today the event is open to the public (with options to attend online, see below) and stakeholders have a chance to hear more about the plans of ECHOES to integrate all sister projects (i.e. all the tools like #ECHOLOT building specialised services for the Culture Cloud) and to build capacity within the European cultural heritage communities.

⚙️ This morning we heard from various ECHOES colleagues on their activities to gather detailed information about community needs through consultation activities (factsheet already available online) and the roadmap for integration of services into the Cloud. A lot of challenges ahead, but great to learn more already about the possibilities for joining forces with and across the Cloud service providers.
