Clear set of objectives based on Europe 2020 and Innovation Union Societal challenges, industrial leadership, excellence in science base Integrating research and innovation in a seamless programme (FP, CIP, EIT, complementarity with Structural Funds) Simpler funding landscape for research and innovation ICT and culture part of societal challenges, aiming in the long term for technologies for creativity
The CEF proposal makes explicit reference to use the competence centres as provides for generic services for digitisation and digital preservation
The competence centres were a concept that was developed together with stakeholders in a series of workshops in 2006 These are the key features of of the competence centres as defined by the stakeholder consultation The requirement to build a competence centre in digitisation and/or digital preservation was included in the FP7 workprogramme 2007-2008 (call 1) in a specific target outcome Three projects were selected in this call addressing the speficic outcome: IMPACT, PRESTOPRIME, 3D-COFORM (see next slide). They all target specific areas of digitisation and digital preservation (historical text, audiovisual archives, 3D material) NB: One of the first flagship projects from FP6 (PLANETS) has already built a competence centre on digital preservation (other than AV material) before the above projects: The Open Planets Foundation (OPF), based in London, Director Bram van den Werf.
- Competence centres are mentioned specifically in the recommendation for optimising the digitisation capacity in Europe
The competence centres have come together to series of workshops on both conceptualisation and execution of the concept The development of concept and execution is taken up by the core competence centres, eg IMPACT to jointly organise a workshop with JISC in the coming months Our support comes from both guidance to MS (recommendation) and financial support (Eg CEF funds): the competence centres are both explicitly mentioned in both the recommendation and the CEF package.
Already nearly 30 years ago Jacques Delors, in his first speech to the European Parliament as Commission President in 1985, saw the importance of cultural industries. This in a situation where technically the EC still had no legal competence to intervene in cultural affairs: the European Commission was thus operating a de facto cultural policy - under the guise of industrial policy - long before the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 gave it the legal right to do so. The quote is still very much actual today regarding digitisation of cultural heritage (at the time it was in the context of Green Paper on Television without Frontiers).
