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.
