The move towards digitisation of their collections and other virtual means of reaching their audience has become essential. The Commission asks for the participation of the readers. Anyone’s opinion is welcome: organisations and professionals, technology stakeholders such as companies, SMEs/entrepreneurs, research organisations, academia and citizens.
