Dear colleagues,

I hope you will find this message interesting. In May this year together with Europeana Foundation, Polish National Audiovisual Institute and IT University of Copenhagen we are organizing a series of hackathons under a common name Hack4Europe! 2012.

Hack4Europe 2012 Copenhagen is being coordinated by Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center in cooperation with IT University of Copenhagen. The event will take place on 10 and 11 May 2012 at IT University in Copenhagen.

EUROPEANA INSIDE, a EU-funded network, is working to transform the ability of European cultural heritage institutions (museums, archives and libraries) to participate in the Europeana platform (europeana.eu).

The EUROPEANA INSIDE network includes 28 partners from 12 EU member states, with additional participants in the US and South Africa.
