The seventh edition of the international online conference is dedicated to the ethical and social implications of digital transformation in museums. Digital technologies present both opportunities and challenges. For example, museums can use digital media to make their collections accessible to a wider audience and create interactive experiences. At the same time, however, they must also take into account matters of data security, copyright and cultural representation. Four online sessions, an on-site workshop and a hybrid panel discussion will focus on the concept of digital humanism. According to this concept, the potential of information technology is recognised, but human values and social aspects must be taken into account in its implementation.

This online workshop hosted by the DPC and CUL will provide an opportunity to discuss and explore this topic.
