13 Impact Creating the missing link Far-reaching and transformative Start of a partnership between CMS vendors and cultural institutes Open up potential for more than 7000 other cultural institutions to deliver data to Europeana and other targets Open up this data to the outside world for creative reuse Vision The Europeana Inside outputs, and particularly the Europeana Connection Kit, will be adopted by every Collections Management software supplier and their museum, library and archive clients throughout Europe to transform the quantity, scope and accessibility of digital cultural heritage for the public. 13

14 Forward plan viability and sustainability What will happen after the project The forward plan will focus on The future development potential of the ECK The maintenance of the Best Practice Network The promotion and advocacy of the Europeana Inside outputs to new partners Join Us Subscribe to our Newsletter: Become an Associate Partner: 14
