Collaborative Use Case Living Labs
Fostering Tools and ResoURces Validation
and Adoption in the European Cloud
for Next-Gen Digital Heritage Communities
Cooperation​

By embedding experimentation in real working environments, CULTUR.ACT will connect technological development with the people and practices the Cultural Heritage Cloud is designed to support.

CULTUR.ACT will create a continuous exchange between technology experts, cultural heritage practitioners and researchers. The Living Labs will co-design, test, assess and refine tools and workflows around concrete professional needs and challenges.

Working across very different institutions and heritage domains will make it possible to understand what works, identify usability barriers and emerging needs, and feed users’ experiences and lessons learned back into the development of the Cultural Heritage Cloud.

CULTUR.ACT will transform the experience of its Living Labs into practical resources for the wider cultural heritage community, including validated workflows and applications, reusable blueprints, training resources and open solutions that other organisations can adapt and reuse.

An Open Call will bring five additional cultural organisations into the validation network during the final nine months of the project, extending experimentation to new contexts and supporting wider uptake of the solutions developed and tested.

CULTUR.ACT will show, in practical terms, how the Cultural Heritage Cloud can become part of the everyday work of cultural organisations. The project will leave behind validated workflows, reusable blueprints, training resources and user feedback that can guide both the further development of the Cloud and its adoption by new institutions.

In this section, you will find the official documents produced during the project lifetime. Reports and deliverables will be made public as the project progresses. These documents will be essential to share the results of our work with the scientific community, policy makers, and the general public. We invite you to visit this page regularly to stay updated on the new documents published by our project. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
