A project for creating, sharing, and making use of food and drink related content
Europeana Food and Drink is a project funded by the European Commission under the CIP ICT PSP that aims at promoting the wider re-use of the digital resources available through Europeana.
Europeana Food and Drink brings together 28 partners from across 16 European countries and is led by the UK-based Collections Trust. Leading content providers, creative technologists and creative industry partners are working together in order to create an evocative suite of commercial applications and products featuring food- and drink related content catered to specific audiences.
The project investigates three main themes:
- My Food and Drink Life -focusing on the personal and domestic aspects of food and drink;
- Food and Drink in the Community -focusing on the social and community aspects of food and drink;
- The Food and Drink Industry - focusing on the cultivation, manufacture, production and distribution of food and drink.
Europeana Food and Drink will achieve its objectives by
- Discovering, preparing, licensing and uploading 50,000 - 70,000 unique high-quality digital assets and their associated metadata to Europeana
- Engaging the general public, retailers and distributors in campaigns and in piloting and crowding activities to encourage them to share and make use of food- and drink related content
