NEMO was consulted in the development phase of the survey to offer expertise input about the museum sector and its needs. NEMO also circulated the survey amongst its members and with the museum community. Therefore, NEMO is pleased to know that the survey received more than 1000 replies from museum professionals from all over Europe, showing a strong interest in the initiative from the sector.
The survey collected feedback on the needs and challenges of museum and cultural heritage professionals in their digital transition and in-depth scientific collaboration via a digital platform. The input from stakeholders will help the European Commission to provide targeted support to the cultural heritage sector when developing the Cultural Heritage Cloud Work Programme 2024.
The report shows that digital interaction is the highest priority among respondents' needs for tools, with a particular focus on tools for creating, sharing, and reusing interactive content on the cloud (43.3%), tools for AI-assisted metadata enrichment (37%), tools for advanced interaction with digital content on the cloud (36.4%), and tools for analysing, designing, and testing interactions with visitors (33.6%).
