The VCoE will help to avoid further fragmentation in the area of Digital Preservation by providing technical methods and tools as well as DP implementation support services, consultancy and training. The VCoE Unique Value Proposition is based on two pillars: * We offer a coherent approach based on value and which can be applied to any kind of digital objects; * We are backed by the combined experience of the DP pioneers both in the research field and, more importantly, as worldwide earliest adopters of DP practices. The speaker's programme is: 1. Simon Lambert (STFC): It all started in 2004: how we got here 2. David Giaretta (APA): The VCoE: what it offers 3. Michel Drescher (EGI) guest speaker: EGI's community infrastructure and the VCoE 4.
