Hop on the boat, the project has started!

During this first week, we will explore together the digital transformation of cultural heritage and museums from a theoretical perspective.

As every week, an essay will be posted in the blog and a talk with an expert will be recorded for the podcast.

Digital opportunities for cultural heritage and explores the definition of digital heritage, its legal framework, and the opportunities for cultural heritage offered by its digital transformation taking a global, European, and Spanish perspective.
