“People often speak about closing the digital divide and opening up culture to new audiences but very few can claim such a big contribution to those efforts as Europeana’s shift to creative commons.”

Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission12 September, 2012

'In the open and fertile environment that Europeana has now created, I hope we will see many more apps blooming. Just imagine the new applications for libraries, schools, or hotels: all powered by Europeana. So a big thank you to those cultural institutions that had the vision to take us there.’

Neelie Kroes Vice President of the European Commission, 18 September 2012

Thank you.
