[[http://pro.europeana.eu/web/europeana-cloud|Unlocking Europe's research via the cloud]].

The principal aim of the project is to develop a cloud-based infrastructure for the network of Europeana, 
its content providers and its aggregators in which to store data, with a clear understanding of the legal, 
strategic and economic issues involved. It also seeks to build on the successes of the infrastructure and 
web presence of The European Library by developing a set of tools and services within Europeana 
specifically for the academic researcher.

The project started in February 2013, and will last for three years. CERL will be involved in developing a content strategy, and in metadata and content ingestion into the cloud.

It is coordinated by the Europeana Foundation, and funded by the CIP programme of the European Commission.
