The Environmental Sustainability Practice Task Force of the Europeana Network Association Climate Action Community has just launched a survey to evaluate the sustainability of digital preservation practices in European cultural heritage institutions, with a view to finding ways to mitigate our sector’s environmental impact.

The Climate Action Community is looking for responses from digital professionals working in a cultural heritage institution, or part of a heritage institution IT team, or involved in any way in the digital preservation or management or provision of digital content.

The survey is accessible here, and it will be closing for responses by the 13th of October.
