The DOORS incubation programme will run from April to June 2022 and it presents an unique opportunity for the strategic advancement of small and medium-sized museums interested in accomplishing a digital transformation, accessing international expertise and funding to start and/or support their digital journeys. Proposals of digital pilots must be developed in one of the following innovation areas:
- Innovating audience analysis and engagement
- New content distribution and revenue models
- Strategies for integrating infrastructures
- Experimental ICT programmes
Types of digital pilot activities could target different fields of digitalisation in museums such as collections and asset management, content production and preservation, access control and mediation, marketing and sales, communication, administration and governance, human resources, technical and IT infrastructure. Applicants can for instance submit proposals targeting digital innovation for online services (digital presence on the web and mobile access), for onsite services (including ICT such as big data or machine learning for analysing day-to-day processes or audiences) and services that bridge online and onsite worlds.
40 museums will be selected to participate in the first phase of the incubation programme focused on shared learning. In the second phase, 20 out of the 40 museums will be selected to get support and funding to implement their digital pilots.
