Preface

The pre-conference workshop Horizon2020 and Creative
Europe vs Digital Heritage – A European Projects
Crossover (Flash News), ran on 18th February 2014 in
Florence, Italy, as part of Museums and the Web Florence 2014
(MWF2014).
  MWF2014 is an international conference dedicated to the
relationship between museums and places of culture, with a
focus on the new paradigms of digital culture, which include
social media, mobile tours and augmented reality.
  The pre-conference workshop was organized to discuss about
topics related to European funded research, specifically the
European Framework Program Horizon 2020 and its counterpart
for cultural activities, Creative Europe.
  The workshop was jointly organized by the leaders of three
projects funded under FP7: 3D ICONS (www.3d-icons.eu),
CREATIVE CH (www.creative-heritage.eu) and V-MUST.net
(www.v-must.net) and included a special session: Flash News.
The goal of the Flash News session was to highlight recent
advancements in museum and heritage applications, as regards
both tangible and intangible heritage.
The papers provided an insight on this matter from diverse
communities (academic institutions, European projects,
museums, SMEs), contributing to raise awareness on different
approaches and perspectives.
