The ECHOES project is building a shared digital space, the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), designed to support heritage professionals and researchers across Europe. To ensure this platform meets real-world needs, ECHOES has launched a consultation survey to better understand the priorities, challenges, and expectations of the cultural heritage community.

The collaborative Cloud will offer access to data, scientific resources, training, and advanced digital tools tailored to the sector’s needs. This shared platform will revolutionise the way heritage professionals and researchers collaborate, modernising workflows and processes. 

As one of the project partners, NEMO strongly encourages the museum community to take part in the consultation and help shape a Cloud that truly supports museums across Europe.

  • Fill in the ECHOES Consultation to help shape the Cloud (deadline: extended until end of June).

Why participate? 

Your insights will help ECHOES: 

  • Develop a strategy for community building. 
  • Inform the design and technological framework of the Cloud. 
  • Identify additional stakeholders eager to contribute. 
  • Initiate collaborative activities within the community. 
  • Prepare new capacity-building initiatives for the next phases of the project. 

Who can contribute? 

The consultation is open to all cultural heritage stakeholders, including professionals, researchers, computer scientists/developers, umbrella organisations and institutions with a vested interest in the development and application of the Cultural Heritage Cloud. Each participation will be instrumental in shaping the future of digital cultural heritage. 

Grant alert!

ECHOES is accepting proposal for contributing datasets to the Cultural Heritage Cloud, with up to €60,000 grants available for 12 projects. Submissions are open until 15 May 2025, with a focus on supporting smaller and interdisciplinary institutions. Register now to join a webinar on 17 April to learn more about the grant opportunity.
