co:op project at workshop on innovation policies for Cultural Heritage Institutions in Budapest (HU)

The co:op project will be presented at the National Library in Budapest (HU) within a workshop that deals with the question of what kind of policies can be applied to cultural institutions in order to best prepare them for cooperation with citizens and their organisations in research on cultural heritage.

In this context the opportunities of the topotheques as cultural heritage preserving tools, run by citizens themselves and as vital part of the co:op activities, will be introduced to the workshop participants.

The workshop is being organized by Civic Epistemologies – Development of a Roadmap for Citizen Researchers in the Digital Culture.
