ERPANET is pleased to announce its seminar focusing on business models related to digital preservation. This three-day seminar, co-hosted by the Archiefschool, will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on September 20-22, 2004.

The seminar will explore the organisation, funding and structuring of digital preservation in and among organisations. Currently, most organisations are still very much at the beginning of dealing with digital preservation. However, in order to be able to establish a solid infrastructure it will be necessary to have more insight into possible business models. These models should address for instance organisational, financial, cultural and collaborative aspects to ensure their sustainability. International experts will present business models to provide seminar participants with cutting-edge knowledge.


Audience
This seminar is targeted at those involved in the planning, implementation and management of digital resources. Those may include programme managers responsible for setting up and enhancing digital preservation practices in their organisations; people entrusted with establishing and disseminating digital collections of long-term value; as well as technological architects who are establishing a technology environment that supports business models.

Opening:  20th September
