For the second year, ULB organises a seminar to foster the exchange of best practices in regards to digital preservation and archiving in practice. Last year, KEEP Solutions (developer of RODA) and Artefactual (developer of Archivematica) offered an overview of the architecture and strategical development of their digital preservation tools. This year, on Monday 18th of March, presentations will give a high-level overview of the strategical challenges involved when implementing a preservation service. In the context of weKONEKT.brussels, we will welcome you at BOZAR. Please see below how to access the building (which will not be through the main entrance). We will start sharp on time, so please arrive 10 minutes early.

Program:

16h45: Opening of the room and informal networking
17h: Introduction by Seth van Hooland (ULB)
