Editor's Notes
- Future scope based on discussions in context of Council Conclusions, but independent evaluation 18. the cultural and digital innovation value of Europeana should be strengthened through re-envisaging the core service platform under the CEF, focusing on: - supporting the professional networks such as the Europeana Network Association, - achieving technological advancement, - sustaining a multi-sided internet platform for sharing and (re)using metadata and content, and providing a general multilingual access point to cultural content. It should also be strengthened through the realisation of cultural and user-oriented projects that build on the Europeana infrastructure, and which are to be co-financed under the CEF as generic services with the involvement of cultural heritage institutions and other public and private parties;
- The MSEG was set up in 2007. It assists the Commission in monitoring progress on the implementation of the Commission Recommendation of October 2011, on digitisation and digital preservation. INVITES THE COMMISSION: 25. by October 2017, to present to the Council an independent evaluation of Europeana and give clear orientations for the mid- and long-term development of Europeana by assessing alternatives at the EU level for the future scope, sustainable funding and governance of Europeana, including a possibility to transform or integrate Europeana into a European legal entity, whilst taking account of the dual nature of Europeana as both a cultural and digital innovation project; 26. by October 2017, to switch the funding method for the Europeana DSI under the CEF to a combination of procurement and grants. Under this model, EU procurement will fully cover the core service platform to ensure stability and interoperability, whilst EU grants (up to 75% of eligible costs) will be available for related user-oriented projects (i.e. generic services under the CEF) which Member States can co-fund on a voluntary basis, either directly and/or through participating national organisations; 27. to set conditions in the procurement procedure for the core service platform requiring the operator to safeguard its character of a public infrastructure and community for culture and digital innovation, in particular by: - enabling the continuous involvement of Member States and cultural heritage institutions in the development of Europeana’s core service platform, respecting the national cultural institutions as right holders of the metadata and content; 28. ensure that Europeana generic services receiving grants are built on and connected with the core service platform; 29. by December 2016: - to renew and revise the mandate of the Member States Expert Group on digitisation and digital preservation (MSEG) until 2020, - to strengthen its role to review and discuss policies for digital cultural heritage as well as to give guidance on Europeana's annual work programmes, - to closely involve the MSEG in defining the general objectives, priorities for actions and the envisaged level of funding to be proposed for the Europeana core service platform and generic services in the annual CEF work programmes, which are submitted to the CEF Committee for opinion;

For the Europeana Foundation, this could be organised in particular through participation in the Governing Board of the Member State holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Member State that held the previous Presidency and the Member State that will hold the next Presidency; 23. have more systematic contacts with Member States, improve and provide permanent access to country- and institution specific user statistics and improve the accountability on project results and spending; 24. continue to explore possibilities for raising own income;
