The InDICEs Self Assessment Tool – monitoring digitization and participatory performance

In this workshop, we will try to understand how a museum digital strategy can and should integrate its digitization approach with its outreach activities and participation activities. After an introduction to the inDICEs research results and the ENUMERATE Self Assessment, we will reflect on the status of digital approaches in the different complementary museum workflow, and how this can be optimized in such a way that the museum can really exert digital agency to fulfill its mission. In the second hour, participants will contribute their insights in an interactive session. One group will focus on the digitization workflow, a second group on the participatory strategy. The results will come together in the final plenary session.
