The digitisation of cultural heritage is a major priority in the culture agenda of the French presidency of the Council of the European Union. Digitisation and on line accessibility of cultural material are essential for enhancing the promotion of cultural heritage, stimulating the creation of contents and fostering new on-line services. It contributes to the democratisation of access to culture and to the development of the information society and the knowledge economy.

Acomprehensive overview of European achievements will also be on the programme : EUROPEANA, MICHAEL, national and thematic portals, networking of digitised contents (archives, libraries, museums, audio-visual,architectural and archaeological heritage), new uses and new services for the public, models for public private partnerships.
