This is a one-page overview of the project, based on the Open Canvas template from Mozilla’s Open Leadership Training Series.

Problem

Data analysis in non-technical organisations is a lonely business: it’s hard to network, learn about good practice and develop as a professional, which makes it hard to stay excited and motivated.

Cultural Heritage “data” sources and techniques are much richer and more diverse than many data science professionals are used to, and have unique challenges

Build a network that offers opportunities to talk to and learn form others across departmental and organisational boundaries.
