Monday 23 August, we will discuss our different study programs in archival studies and potential future cooperation. This part of the programme is open to network members only. Our study programmes have different institutional affiliations and are rooted in different academic disciplines (information science, history and cultural/heritage studies).

  • What may different academic disciplines contribute to the field of archival studies?
  • What professional roles in what type of organizations or institutions do we envisage for our graduates?
  • What can we learn from each other and should we cooperate and in what forms in the future?
