Good afternoon everyone,
With apologies for cross-posting, I am delighted to share with you the announcement of the Europeana Strategy 2020 which sets out a new vision for how we can all help transform the world with culture through the Europeana community.
Europeana doesn't get a huge amount of airplay in the UK, but we are the 5th largest provider of content and it is becoming an increasingly important source of referrals and new partnership opportunities.
The Collections Trust is a key liaison between UK museums and Europeana, so do please get in touch with me if you would like to know more. We have recently seen more new members of the Europeana Network from UK museums than any other EU country, so now is a great time to join the network and see how Europeana can help you extend the reach and impact of your online collections.
Joining the Network is free, takes a few seconds and can be done online at http://pro.europeana.eu/web/guest/network/apply.
With best regards,
Nick

> Dear Europeana Network members,
> Today we have, with great pleasure, published our reflections on the future of Europeana. This strategy is the result of a year- long conversation with you during which we have investigated thoroughly how best to create value for all stakeholders. We believe we now have a framework in place that will allow us to build on past achievements and that will help us to make well-balanced decisions during our activities in the future. Nick Poole, Chair of the Europeana Network shares his thoughts with us in this week’s Europeana blog.
>
> We want to thank you for all the valuable advice, creativity and hard work you have invested in this network and we sincerely hope that we can count on your continued participation.
>
> One of the most valuable lessons we have learned in this process is that strategy no longer consists of a well-planned roadmap towards clearly identifiable goals; for that the world around us changes too fast. Our organisation is therefore only as strong as the network that we are a part of and the vision and values that bind us. To succeed in the future we need more cultural innovators, just like you.
>
> There are some simple actions you can take to help get it started. Visit the strategy website and download strategy 2020. Share it with your own organisation and contacts. Link to the strategy website from your organisation website. Tweet and post and blog about it. Encourage others to become members of the network.
