Dear MCG'ers,
You may be aware that the European Commission has published the final
call (call 7) for project proposals under the ICT Policy Support
Programme. In response to this call, the Collections Trust is
coordinating a proposal for an exciting new project called Europeana
Food & Drink, which aims to celebrate European identity and
multiculturalism through our shared food & drink culture (waits for the
jokes about using EU funds to go to the pub to die down...)
We are working with Historypin to create a project which engages the
public in creating and sharing ideas, recipes and other material around
the theme of food & drink, and we are currently looking for Content
Partners to participate in the project.
To support this call for partners, we have published a Powerpoint
presentation describing the aims and structure of the project, and the
roles and requirements of participation. Although we have to balance the
consortium so that it is not too heavily skewed in favour of any one
country, we are nevertheless keen to secure the involvement of UK
museums, libraries and archives in the project.
If you are interested in participating, please see
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/programmes/european-projects/1682-euro
peana-food-and-drink-ict-psp-proposal for further information. Having
reviewed the Powerpoint and the requirements, please contact the
Collections Trust office for an in-principle discussion about
participating.
You can also find more general information about the ICT PSP Call 7 on
the European Commission website (

icipate).
With many thanks in advance for your interest.
