CATCH Symposium

On Friday November 13rd the CATCH Symposium ‘How to CATCH the future’ took place at the beautiful venue of the Bazel, Amsterdam.

International keynote speakers shared their experiences on cooperation between heritage, computer sciences and the humanities. The first 6 CATCH projects that have completely finished received recommendations from the International Scientific Advisory Board.

Hans Bennis, director of the Meertens Institute (KNAW) and president of the CATCHPlus steering board, presented CATCHPlus as a possible follow-up to CATCH projects. Especially cooperating with companies was an interesting point for those attending.

CATCH

CATCHPlus builds on the running programme "Continuous Access To Cultural Heritage" (CATCH), ran by N.W.O. (The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research). In CATCH, computer scientists, the humanities and the cultural heritage sector have set up a unique collaboration with collection managing institutions. Innovation, transferability and cooperation are central issues in this project.

CATCH started in 2004 and a number of subprojects has finished. In CATCHPlus, the prototypes and demos fro eight of the finished projects will be converted to reliable tools. Software that is solid and can be used in multiple institutions. From prototype to reliable application!
