HIE’s programme of 2017 YHHA digital heritage activities resulted in HIE being invited to participate as a project partner in an Interreg North Sea project Culture power: inspire to develop areas (CUPIDO). CUPIDO is viewed as an opportunity to work with international partners to collectively share resources, knowledge and expertise to explore and advance new opportunities to commercialise the cultural sector through use of digital and wider networking activities. HIE will work in collaboration with University of St Andrews, HOWEST University (Belgium) and South Norway University to deliver a programme of regional and transnational digital activities designed to support cultural heritage organisations adopt digital technologies and digital ways of working to enhance their commercial growth.
