This is a project to be submitted under the ICT Policy Support Programme, one of the 3 sub-programmes of the EU's Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). In particular, it falls under Pilot B – Digital Libraries: Digitising content for Europeana, aimed at digitizing collections from libraries, museums, archives and insert them in Europeana, the European Digital Library.
EU support is 50%, and includes salaries as well. The minimum number of participating countries is 4, but a good network for a successful project may include up to 10 different countries. Malta is currently looking for partners from the cultural world (museums, universities, libraries, etc…), as well as for companies having the technological know-how for digitization.
