In this panel we want to report about the challenges and benefits that we experience in our collaborative efforts. We will encourage the audience to add their experiences with initiatives like ours. We will furthermore ask input from the audience, what issues should we prioritize? From which activities does the community profit the most? Should we focus on practical solutions or on policy making (or on both)? NCDD, DPC, NDSA, Nestor, OPF and PrestoCentre all have their own communities, programs, ideas and communications which form the basis for their activities. These could be expanded to a “collaboration of the collaborators”. The panel will present some ideas for such a collaboration and it will invite the preservation community to bring in ideas and issues for next steps in international collaboration.
