networks and collaborations across museums, libraries and public cultural institutions

This brainstorming event was a workshop for MeLA consortium members and invited guests from the Research Field 03, expert group and other selected institutions. This event has been a further opportunity for  the partners to network with scholars and experts across the topics of collaboration, cultural institutions, migration and European heritage, to take a look at questions outside our specific field of expertise and to develop our ideas further.
 

The Research Field 03 expert group included representatives from museums, libraries, foundations, associations and cultural policy , such as Simona Bodo (independent researcher), Dr Samuel Jones (Associate of Demos Think Tank), Prof Rebecca Kay (University of Glasgow and Glasgow Refugee Asylum and Migration Network), Dr Ellen MacAdam (Head of Museums, Glagsow Life), Antonio Perna (Sudlab), Prof Alison Phipps (University of Glasgow and Glasgow Refugee Asylum and Migration Network), Prof Philip Schlesinger (Director of Centre for Cultural Policy Research, University of Glasgow), Dr Bernhard Serexhe (Chief Curator of ZKM Media Museum), Dr Sreten Ugricic (writer, philosopher, former Director of the National Library of Serbia), Katherine Watson (Director of European Cultural Foundation). The RF03 expert group will share experiences and expertise, provide feedbacks on our research and contribute to the brainstorming event.
