The common European data space for cultural heritage is the new flagship initiative of the European Commission to accelerate the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector, and foster the creation and reuse of content in the cultural and creative sectors. The data space is deployed by a consortium of 19 partners coordinated by the Europeana Foundation funded under Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) of the European Union. CARARE is a member of the consortium.
CARARE is an accredited domain aggregator for Europeana focussing on the archaeological and architectural heritage and 3D. We have been active as an aggregator since 2010 through various funded projects.
Europeana is Europe's digital cultural heritage platform, providing online access to a vast store of cultural heritage material from across Europe, aiming to share and promote this heritage so that it can be used and enjoyed by people across the world.
3D-4CH will establish an online competence centre in 3D for cultural heritage with funding from the Digital Europe programme. The project starts on 1st February 2025 and runs for three years. CARARE is a partner in the project alongside some of its members - the Volyn Foundation, KMKG, Highbury Research and Development, the Athena Research Centre (ILSP division), the Discovery Programme and Time Machine Organisation.
