Co-organised by the Culture Institute of Barcelona (ICUB) and Culture Action Europe (CAE) and in partnership with the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), this international gathering was a meeting space for reflecting on and discussing cultural rights, for thinking about how they are defined and for imagining and finding mechanisms that promote and guarantee that they are respected. In this context, the MEMEX project has been presented with a focus on the use of digital storytelling and a focus on the last policy Brief!

MEMEX Project has been presented by IIT at the Digital Humanities Conference 2022. The presentation attempted to provide an overview of the research within Computer Vision and its current and future application within Digital Humanities. It looks at Computer Vision approaches developed to investigate Digital Humanities data and, more specifically, fine-art and cultural heritage.

Inês, de Mapa Das Ideias, member of the MEMEX Consortium in Portugal, presented the MEMEX project at the 2021 meeting with Science and Technology from june 28th to June 30th. It was presented to potential candidate of the National Science Fair. This year's theme was "Science, shaping tomorrow's world and transforming the economy".

The project was presented in the DSI Webinar: Benefits of sharing content with Europeana, in order to contribute with the experience of an European Project within this framework. The event was organized by MUSEU aggregator, managed by Michael Culture, within the Europeana Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) Initiative.

The webinar targeting cultural heritage institutions interested in joining Europeana was held on 19th April 2021, from 17:00 to 18:30 CET.

The project participated in the symposium “Cultural heritage and social impact: Digital technologies for social inclusion and participation” organized by CultureLabs project (funded from H2020 programme). This one-day symposium discussed how digital ecosystems shape the dynamics between institutions (including museums and academic institutions) and communities, leading to new models of collaboration and interaction around heritage and culture.

Among 12 presentations, MEMEX explored how digital technologies can support institutions to become more connected and open to different communities.

The project was presented on the 17 of December 2020 at the online event "Opportunities and synergies between Horizon 2020, Creative Europe-Culture, and Europe with Citizens" organized by the Creative Europe Desk of Spain.

The aim of the event was to show the funding opportunities and possibles synergies between EU Programmes like Creative Europe-Culture, Horizon 2020 and Europe for Citizens. MEMEX will be one of the practical cases described during the event.
