Building Shared Heritage Infrastructures with EIT Culture & Creativity
Date: 30 Sept – 01 Oct 2026
Venue: Aarhus (DK)
Registration will open soon.
We are pleased to announce the Time Machine Connect 2026, taking place in Aarhus on 30 September. This year’s gathering will be organised in collaboration with the EIT Culture & Creativity North Regional Hub Open Days on 01 October, bringing together Europe’s cultural heritage, research, innovation and creative communities to explore new opportunities for collaboration.
Time Machine Connect will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, showcasing initiatives from across the Time Machine network, building new partnerships, and strengthening connections between cultural heritage institutions, researchers, cities, startups and the wider innovation ecosystem. Together with the EIT Culture & Creativity North Hub, the event will highlight how Europe’s digital heritage infrastructures can support innovation, entrepreneurship and regional development.
The programme will feature keynote presentations, collaborative workshops, project showcases, networking opportunities and discussions on the future of Europe’s digital cultural heritage ecosystem.
Spotlight on the Time Machine Atlas
One of the highlights of the event will be the Time Atlas Workshop, an interactive hands-on session where participants will discover how local cultural heritage datasets can be connected through the Time Atlas, a geo-historical platform for exploring historical information across space and time. The workshop will introduce practical workflows, showcase inspiring use cases from across the network and demonstrate how participants can contribute their own data and benefit from a growing European heritage data ecosystem.
Join the Time Machine Connect Preview
To help participants prepare for the event, we will also host an online community session on 31 August 2026. Serving as a warm-up to Time Machine Connect, this webinar will provide an overview of the event, introduce the Time Atlas Workshop, and offer an opportunity to learn more about the programme and ask questions ahead of the meeting in Aarhus.
Registration Opening Soon
Registration for both Time Machine Connect 2026 and the Time Atlas Workshop will open soon, together with the publication of the full programme.
