Europeana version 1.0 is a 2.5 year project that will bring the Europeana.eu prototype to full service. In 2010 we will implement a new version of Europeana with added functionality and access to over 10 million digital objects.

The second phase of the project will see the launch in 2011 of a fully-operational Europeana.eu with improved multilinguality and semantic web features.

The project is funded under the Commission's eContentplus programme. It's a Thematic Network that brings over 100 partners from libraries, museums, archives and audio-visual collections together. We're building open source solutions and reusing technologies developed in related Commission-funded projects. Universities, ministries and heritage strategy bodies are also part of our knowledge-sharing consortium.
