Research Field 3: Network of Museums, Libraries and Public Cultural Institutions

Research Field 03 aimed to leverage the power of cultural networks, for supporting European cultural institutions to better address contemporary challenges of globalisation, mobility, cultural dialogue, and the use of Information and Communication Technologies. The increasingly transnational and transdisciplinary cultural networking across museums, libraries and other institutions were investigated building on the concept of migrating heritage, viewed against the backdrop of the politics and policies of a common European culture. The research highlighted the pivotal role of partnerships and cooperation around the networked activities of archiving, preserving and displaying history and artefacts in the definition of innovative practices, spaces and policies that reflect the challenges of building an inclusive Europe.
