2. Europeana Research
The key value proposition for Europeana Research is to connect
quality data available from the cultural heritage sector with the
digital humanities.
Recognising the importance and value of cultural heritage data
for research we aim to:
● Bring DH researchers to Europeana
● Bring Europeana to DH researchers
● Build a community
● Improve access to cultural heritage for research

Grants Programme
One of the key activities of the Europeana Research team was a grants
programme for early career scholars. The programme was launched in
September 2016. We were looking for individual research projects which
make use of Europeana Collections for research purposes: employing state
of the art tools and methods in the Digital Humanities to address a specific
research question.

Three projects have been awarded a Europeana Research Grant:
‘With the generous funding that the Europeana research grant has provided, I have been able to
undertake a project which aims to change the way people understand poetry. More importantly,I hope
to make some contribution to promoting public engagement with archival materials - in this case the
Europeana Sounds archives. I am sure that, discovering a small corner of the Europeana Collection
can lead to bigger things, so the first task is to hook people in. ‘

Data-sharing with third-parties
1. Datasets relevant to CLARIN’s community are selected to be ‘harvested’;
2. Inclusion of obtained metadata in CLARIN’s search portal, the Virtual
Language Observatory (VLO) after conversion from Europeana’s EDM
format to CLARIN’s CMDI;
3. Selection of tools from CLARIN’s infrastructure to be included in a
processing workflow based on Europeana resources;
4. Adaptation of the CLARIN infrastructure for increased load (expected
increase in number of harvested and indexed metadata records) where
necessary;
5. Potential actions to increase the visibility and ease of access of Europeana
and its data within the CLARIN community and vice versa:
● Inclusion of Europeana APIs of potential interest to CLARIN’s target
audience CLARIN’s “language resource and tool inventory”;
● Using CLARIN and Europeana’s communication channels (e.g. blog,
newsletter) to increase bilateral awareness.
