Co-organized by EUreka3D-XR project partner’s meemoo, this year’s annual Public Domain Day will draw attention to the barriers that often still stand in the way of opening up these materials through a two session one-day event offering insights, plenaries and specialised workshops. Public Domain Day welcomes anyone who might be interested in engaging with public domain collections – from collection managers and service providers to researchers and policymakers.

On the occasion,  the project EUreka3D-XR will be showcased through a dedicated booth featuring dissemination materials, hosted by Axelle Vanmaele (meemoo). The project’s presence at the event is aligned with the values of the public domain and open cultural data: EUreka3D-XR makes available to cultural heritage professionals five open-source digital tools, including online services and mobile apps, designed to support the innovative reuse and exploitation of cultural resources, with a particular focus on 3D content. By promoting open access, open data, and open licensing, and through the EUreka3D Data Hub, the project directly contributes to the vision of the common European data space for cultural heritage.
