We recommend reading about Austria's approach to digital innovation within its cultural heritage sector. The Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service, and Sport has published a strategic framework aimed at estimating current digital technology use, identifying areas of improvement, and raising awareness among cultural institutions. This initiative forms part of the national Digital Action Plan Austria and aligns with the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Key strategic elements include developing strategies for digitisation, archiving, and communication, alongside plans for digital mediation and creating a national competence center. This initiative is part of Austria’s broader goal for 2020–2024 to preserve and enhance cultural heritage digitally.
For further exploration of these comprehensive plans, the original document is available only in German and can be accessed through the provided link here.
