This forthcoming event looks relevant to our SECreTour researches into alternative business models in grassroots heritage tourism.
The Digitisation, Cultural Heritage & Smart Tourism Online Infoday & Matchmaking takes place on June 3rd, 2025, organised by leading European institutions including the Time Machine Organisation and European Enterprise Network. This event targets upcoming European funding opportunities across Horizon Europe, Creative Europe, and other major schemes, designed specifically for digitisation, cultural heritage, and smart tourism projects.
The event features two key sessions: a morning information session (9:30-12:30 CET) with European Commission speakers presenting funding opportunities, followed by an afternoon matchmaking session (13:00-17:00 CET) where participants can arrange one-to-one meetings to discuss collaborations and find consortium partners. With over 100 participants already registered from 22 countries, the event offers researchers, cultural institutions, regional authorities, and SMEs a unique opportunity to access both funding intelligence and build the partnerships essential for successful European project proposals.
