ERPANET Workshop (Under EC's IST Programme)



TOLEDO, SPAIN: 23rd -25th June 2002
Digitisation, Conservation, and Preservation Workshop

ERPANET, a European Commission funded project, is pleased to announce its first workshop. This event offers experts the opportunity to take part in an investigation of key topics in digital preservation. Participants will examine the interplay of digitisation, conservation, and preservation. As a result of two and a half days of presentations and discussion, we will produce policy, organisational and technical guidelines, and recommendations. These will enable practitioners, their institutions, and funding agencies to improve conservation and preservation practice. 
The event is co-hosted by ERPANET, Caja Castilla La Mancha, and Biblioteca Nacional.

Workshop Focus
· Conservation
· Digitisation
· Preservation
· Benchmarking
· Migration

Format
Each of the sessions will address one of the workshop's main themes and begin with an introduction by an expert. Participants will then divide into sub-groups to examine the issue, to identify key challenges, and to recommend improvements in practices and guidelines. After a brief report back from the workgroups, each session will conclude with a discussion aimed at producing practical guidelines. These will then be disseminated in a white paper.
