European Network of Centers of Excellence for Research and Education in Digital Culture
Introduction
E-Culture Net is committed to sharing the enormous riches of Europe’s digital culture for research, education and for all its citizens.
To achieve this, E-Culture Net is developing a) a Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER) for European Masters and Doctorates; b) networks that provide content for the DEER and c) a research matrix to update the DEER. The long-term goal is multi-lingual, multi-cultural access to Europe’s heritage.
As a first step, members are sharing resources to create a prototype for the DEER. All members agree initially to use these resources only for research and education and specifically to develop new European Masters and Doctorates in digital culture. The Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER) will have three main features:
|
1) Distributed Repository of European digital cultural resources
2) Virtual Reference Room to make these accessible to all the people of Europe
3) Forum for Collaborative Research and Creativity for communication between researchers, content creators, the commercial sector, and users: a virtual agora for European culture. |
