The University will work closely with HIE in supporting a diversity of cultural heritage organisations to develop their digital profiles and to commercialise their cultural heritage, resulting in the creation of jobs. We will develop a generic toolkit, configured to meet the specific needs of cultural heritage organisation, which will be made available across the local and international consortium. We will engage in knowledge exchange activities and workshops in Scotland and internationally.
