Purpose: to provide access to Europe’s cultural heritage.
The Foundation will: facilitate formal agreement across museums,
archives, audio-visual archives and libraries on how to cooperate in the delivery and sustainability of a joint portal.
provide a legal framework for use by the EU for funding purposes and as a springboard for future governance.
