CULTIVATE

The pan-European Cultural Heritage Application Network.

The European Commission's IST [Information Society Technologies] Programme supports research projects by a variety of accompanying measures. The establishment of a Cultural Heritage Applications Network CULTIVATE is an accompanying measure of Key Action III Multimedia Content and Tools of the IST Programme. Nodes of the network have been established in all EU Member States, and are in the process of being established in the accession countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The action continues the successful work of the National Focal Points of the Telematics for Libraries Programme and will expand it to all memory institutions, namely archives, museums and galleries.

The presentation by Bernard Smith describes the new support measures in the current EC Framework Programme for Research. Christiane Dorff outlines the functions of the CULTIVATE network in the European Union. Monika Segbert describes activities and intended results of the Central and Eastern Europe network, and the plan to establish a CULTIVATE node in Russia in close co-operation with the Russian Cultural Heritage Network. The discussion is expected to focus on the practical benefits of this potential development for the cultural institutions in Russia.
