✨ ECHOLOT at the ECHOES second annual event.
Yesterday, @lozross from @tibhannover, the project coordinator, took part in a round-table discussion at the annual ECHOES event. There, she presented the project's key features, including its objectives and the case studies through which ECHOLOT will be validated.
This was a great opportunity to connect with our sister projects and cultural heritage's professionals.
🤩 Thank you for having us!
🎬 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.
