Allez culture! Support the Europeana Project!
Unfortunately, the existence of Europeana as a source of discovery and inspiration for Europe’s newspapers and European culture as a whole is now under threat. This is because of a proposed 90% budget cut to the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which funds Europeana.
Europeana and its related projects currently cost €30 million a year. The proposed new budget for the CEF is €1 billion. Competition for this funding comes from health, justice and safer internet programmes. If Europeana loses its funding, the hard work already put in to build Europeana into an innovative and unique resource will be lost.

Europeana works with galleries, libraries, archives and museums in almost 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. If Europeana loses its funding, the hard work already put in to build Europeana into an innovative and unique resource will be lost.
