Kick-off Event Collections of Ghent
The first months of development and work for Coghent are behind us. The project partners will give an update (in Dutch) during this online event.
Livestream
Wednesday, December 16, 1.30 pm
Meet Collections of Ghent. During this livestream you will learn more about this interesting and innovative eperiment that brings together different partners: museums, archives, the academic world and companies from the creative sector.
CoGhent is developing a data architecture and city-broad data management plan to make sure objects and stories from the content partners are accessible for citizens. Additionally, tools are developed to capture citizen stories and insights, enriching our city-broad digital cultural heritage. Finally, to actually reach and engage our target audience, CoGhent deploys a high tech mobile experience room that will traverse three neighborhoods.
