Location: Rijksmuseum (Picknick), Museumplein, Amsterdam

Our networking event this year is focused on the relationship between AI and Cultural Heritage, and vice versa. This public event presents the latest research on making text and image collections more accessible – and offers a glimpse into the operations of a large cultural heritage institution and how it deals with innovative information technology and collection research.
