NewsEye Policy Brief

NewsEye paves the way for future research to be undertaken in the European Commission’s Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes, bridging the gap between computer science, cultural heritage and digital humanities (and their funding streams).

What digital cultural heritage and digital humanities now need is in-depth interdisciplinary collaboration with state-of-the art computer science. This is no longer a nice-to-have, but essential. The development of the NewsEye project has proven the value and necessity of progressing toward opening the utility of historical newspaper data as a concerted effort combining expertise in digital cultural heritage, digital humanities and computer science.
