Eramsus+ Short-Term Mobility Project: Part 2
Project
23-28 March 2026
On 8-13 March 2026, Director Darina Gallagher and Dr. Josh Q. Newman visited the Petofi Museum of Literature (PIM) in Budapest, Hungary for a job shadowing programme that is part of an Erasmus+ short-term mobility project, “Digital Transformation in European Writers’ Museum.”
The six-month project aims to improve digitization competences, facilitate the accessibility and usability of collections, reach a wider audience through online platforms, enable an exciting museum experience for all people, expand the circle of cooperation partners and present the project results internationally. The project hopes to significantly improve the digitisation knowledge and skills of memory institutions in order to present the literary and cultural history of 20th-century Europe in a broader and more inclusive way.
You can read more about our experiences in this blog: Digital Transformation in European Writers’ Museums: Part 2.
We wish to express our gratitude to Anna Benedek, Dr. Andrea Borbás and Dr. Andrea Parádi of PIM as well as the Embassy of Ireland, Hungary, ELTE Savaria Egyetemi Központ, and Bloomsday Szombathely.
The project is co-funded by the European Union and facilitated by Léargas. The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
