EUN hosts a seminar that will bring together leading experts to explore how technology impacts storage facilities
The Growing Spaces for Better Organizations seminar on 27-28 June in Tabakalera (Donostia) and EUN Hub (Beasain) will bring together top-tier experts in storage and management of various content types like documents, cultural heritage, and more. The experts will explore how proper content storage and management can transform organizations and the way they operate from a profoundly human perspective.
This inaugural seminar will feature a panel of nine national and international experts along with over 100 professionals from museums, institutions, and universities. Key topics include the benefits of the management, transformation and personalization of storage spaces, their impact on organizational processes and how objects, goods and information are safeguarded.
How can storage technology help public institutions and private organizations improve stakeholder service through transparency, security, and efficient management? How are millions of confidential files with key personal data digitized, traced, and protected? How does technology support heritage preservation to safeguard a country's treasures between exhibitions? How can libraries evolve beyond book storage to new functions through technology? How do universities, seats of knowledge, adapt to safeguard and share knowledge? These are some of the questions that will be answered in this symposium, which will offer lectures, workshops and private tours of storage spaces such as the Basque Film Library, Tabakalera Medialab, Gordailua and the Central Bookshop Warehouse.
