OpenUp! is an international collaboration of some of the most outstanding Natural History and Science Museums, Botanical Gardens and University Collections in Europe.
The OpenUp! Network involves partner institutions from 13 European countries, contributing more than
9 million records of multimedia objects from the natural history domain to Europeana by now.
The OpenUp! Natural History Aggregator encourages all kinds of natural history or scientific institutions to join and share their valuable heritage in a digitized manner with the world via the Europeana platform. Especially for smaller or medium size institutes we offer tailored support, a helpdesk and training events.
Data providers benefit from reaching new audiences, increasing web traffic to institutional websites and gaining better visibility towards research funding organizations and also within society.
OpenUp! is accredited Natural History Aggregator for Europeana, coordinated by AIT-Graz (Angewandte Informationstechnik Forschungs-Gesellschaft mbH) and the Botanic Garden und Botanical Museum Berlin (BGBM), Freie Universität Berlin.
