Digital Heritage Strategy. A Roadmap for Faculty Data. Sharing Efforts, Building Community

The Faculty of Arts is home to a variety of ongoing digital initiatives — from policy implementation to project-based experimentation — yet these efforts often remain fragmented and uncoordinated. This one-day internal seminar, and second event within the Digital Challenges Series, aims to bring together colleagues engaged in digital strategy initiatives to share their experiences, highlight objectives, challenges, and expected outcomes of their work, and explore opportunities for greater synergy.

The seminar has a dual goal: first, to map the diverse landscape of existing efforts within the Faculty through short presentations by key actors; and second, to foster an open roundtable discussion addressing concrete questions about our collective direction — how to cooperate effectively, how to navigate current national-level uncertainties, and how to define shared priorities. The ultimate aim is to outline a roadmap for establishing a coherent and comprehensive digital strategy aligned with the University’s vision.
