South-Eastern European Digitization Initiative (SEEDI) is an international effort to develop awareness about digitization of cultural and scientific heritage in South-Eastern Europe (SEE), and to bring together:

Archivists, librarians and curators responsible for the preservation of and permanent access to cultural and scientific heritage;

Information technology researchers developing projects on digitization of cultural and scientific heritage,

Scholars in the arts and humanities, social sciences, history and computer science, students and all the other interested in digitization of and access to cultural and scientific heritage. SEEDI aims to reinforce professional competences in the region, and to foster communication with European and other international centres having similar scientific and practical interest in digitization of scientific and cultural heritage.

This meting is organized as a first step to set up a permanent infrastructure which would be able to monitor new developments and trends, integrate and further develop currently fragmented local knowledge, facilitate the use of existing standards and promote the definition of best practice, preparing the SEE institutions to participate in the future EU-initiatives in the field of digitization.

The main objectives of the meeting are: to discuss the state of the art and needs in digitization of cultural and scientific heritage in the SEEDI-region, and to try to define some general guidelines for further activities of SEEDI and consider how to strength the collaboration between our institutions.
