Belvedere Summer School 2026

The six-day training program is dedicated to the topics of digitization, digital collection management, and the online presence of digital collections, discussing their potential and problems. How do we address the challenges and changes resulting from the widespread adoption of digital technology? How does digital transformation influence traditional strategies of cultural heritage institutions? Which digital competencies need to be developed or expanded? The course will train participants to effectively use and grow the digital resources available in their respective cultural institutions. We will focus on strategies for the digitization of culturally and historically relevant holdings; the development of user-centeric online formats and digital storytelling; possible legal and financial restrictions related to images; and linked open data and the use of artificial intelligence in the museum sector.
