New offer starting March 25: Hands-on Dialogue on Digitisation

By Dr. des. Katja Sternitzke

Practice Meets Dialogue – Share questions. Find solutions.

The Hands-on Dialogue on Digitisation is a new, cross-sector discussion format for (retro)digitisation practitioners from libraries, archives, museums, and collections. The focus is on your specific questions from the field. We provide the platform—you simply bring your topics, challenges, or experiences.

As a regular series of events, the Practical Dialogue offers a reliable opportunity to engage in dialogue—including with colleagues from other institutions whom you may not yet know.
In an open, collegial setting, you can work together to find solutions, share best practices, and learn from one another. 

The 60-minute lunchtime session will take place starting in late March, alternating between the last Wednesday (11 a.m.) and Thursday (1 p.m.) of the month.
No registration is required. Join us whenever it works for you—we look forward to the exchange!
 

Start: Wed, Mar 25, 11 a.m. -  To kick things off, we’ll dive right into open questions from the “8th Workshop on Retrodigitisation—Digitisation for Eternity?—Data Quality in Practice”

Background: NFDI4Culture works with various SIGs (Special Interest Groups). The aim of our SIGs is to bring together and connect experts from different fields to discuss subject-specific RDM topics (digitisation, metadata for cultural heritage, etc.) and cross-cutting themes (3D, AI). The Special Interest Group (SIG) on Digitisation is aimed at (retro)digitisation practitioners from libraries, archives, museums and collections. The Hands-on Dialoge on Digitisation is an offer within the initiative SIG Digitisation.
