To the Members of the European Council, Commission and Parliament.
We ask for your support in the budget discussions about Europe’s digital infrastructure. Europeana, an EU flagship and global leader in its field, must be funded through the Telecom Guidelines of the Connecting Europe Facility, the proposed funding mechanism.
Europeana works with galleries, libraries, archives and museums in every European country to make knowledge and culture available online. We connect everyone in Europe with their shared history and heritage – 27 million books, pictures, films and recordings so far. Together, we’re pioneering new ways to engage people in culture through websites, apps, software and social media, through sharing our expertise, business models and code, and through services for education and tourism. Europe needs our innovation – there’s faster progress in the digital sector than most other areas of the economy.
Supporting Europeana is supporting Europe. Europe can’t afford to lose a service that is both good for people and good for the economy. See our blog for more reasons to protect Europeana’s funding.

I agree for that essential idea. I am a writter and photographer proceeding only with donations to Institutes through the world for my work for conservation and presence on internet for everybody needing to see and obtain informations and it works since 15 years.
I agree that Europe's culture should be available for everyone. What could be more important to education than the right to open access?
EFG provides is a great source of information that helps to make connections with America and the experiences of one's antecedents who fought in the Great War." Thank you
As an American, it's important that European culture remains accessible in order for new and exciting works to continue to be produced. We need inspiration!
El séptimo arte además de mostrar la genialidad detrás de su desarrollo es una herramienta para revisar los actos humanos, alimenta la memoria para no olvidar y contribuye a asegurar una paz a la que no debemos amenazar con la misma ignorancia y arrogancia suicida del pasado.
