Digital Indigenous Cultural Heritage – Promoting sustainable practices - Book launch
About the anthology:
The digitising of Indigenous cultural heritage is not often debated in international research. A topical gap in research-based knowledge on the legal and ethical practices of various fields of Indigenous cultural heritage exists, for example, regarding digitisation, education, law, social processes, and creative practices.
The anthology Digital Indigenous Cultural Heritage – Promoting Sustainable Practices seeks to raise awareness, thoroughly discuss the digitisation of cultural heritage from a multidisciplinary perspective, and, in this way, disseminate research findings that elaborate on the topic of creating trust in digitising Indigenous cultural heritage. The objective is to provide a holistic understanding of key challenges and propose potential novel, workable, substantive, and methodological solutions via which to navigate the legal and cultural tensions within the processes of digitising Indigenous cultural heritage in ethical ways.

Heritage Horizons: Europeana Project Week
This event - organised by the Europeana Initiative - will put the spotlight on the inspiring projects encouraging reuse, innovating in technologies and enhancing sustainability in the common European data space for cultural heritage.
The ‘Heritage Horizons: Europeana Project Week’, taking place from 25 - 29 November 2024, will put the spotlight on the diverse and innovative projects which enrich and enhance the common European data space for cultural heritage.
Project Week will showcase their efforts while facilitating collaboration and connection, accelerating knowledge sharing and shaping new project opportunities. Sessions will highlight the role of digital technologies in preserving and engaging with cultural heritage, advancing social inclusion, encouraging reuse and promoting sustainability, as well as on leading technical developments in the data space.
Each day of project week will have a focus relevant to the data space and cultural heritage sector and spotlight the projects which focus on that particular topic.

5th edition of the NPLD-Coppieters Campus
The Campus focuses on the interplay between digitalisation, artificial intelligence and minority languages; highlighting the opportunities and good practices to support minority languages in the digital age. The discussions taking place during the Campus highlight the experiences of the Basque, Catalan, Galician, Irish and Welsh governments to provide insights for NPLD members to help in their own language planning journey. Furthermore, the Campus will also include discussions by research organisations that look to showcase their research projects relating to digitalisation and minority languages.
