OpenGLAM.AT is a platform for the development of digital strategies and projects of a far-reaching network of Austrian cultural heritage institutions. GLAM is the abbreviation for Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums, where AT stands for the Austrian network in an international context. This platform has its origins in the Open Knowledge Foundation (okfn.at) and is currently run independently as a separate association. The association statues are public and can be accessed at any time. Numerous workshops, participation in conferences and congresses have expanded the network within Austria, which is why cooperation within this network is sought for numerous events and projects focusing on art and culture and digitisation.
As a lighthouse project, the cultural hackathon has already been held in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021. Such cultural hackathons are also held in Switzerland and Germany. We, the OpenGLAM.AT network, are organising this event for Austria in order to work out our visions, projects and goals and are in close exchange with our international colleagues.
Via Blogposts and the podcast Open_Culture_Cast (only available in German)
The project leader, community manager and chairwoman Sylvia Petrovic-Majer works closely with the core team. The association is open to participation, following the principles of the open data movement to ensure open knowledge, participation and transparency.
The cultural hackathon is a format that took place in 2017 and 2018 and is usually held as a physical encounter. Due to the general ban of in-presence-events in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, the culture hackathon was held exclusively digitally in 2020 and 2021.
Following our strategic reflection in autumn 2021 we decided to initiate “smaller flames” in different locations, which is why we came to host one-day gatherings in Lilienfeld and Krems / Danube.
In 2023 we are happy to re-invite you all the the original gathering space at the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences due to a strong partnership and cooperation throughout the years. We are looking forward diving deeper with you into a collaborative and initiating change environment again.
At the centre of the cultural hackathon is the real encounter from person to person, which despite digitisation is still a prerequisite for the development of innovative ideas. Encounter and dialogue are the basis of every society.

Sylvia Petrovic-Majer2021-09-18 17:16:472022-04-06 17:19:00Is it worth it? Let me work it!Chairwoman
As founder of OpenGLAM.at, Sylvia Petrovic-Majer has been actively interested and involved in the digital transformation process of cultural heritage since 2013. As a bridge builder between science & research, technology and cultural heritage, she specialises in facilitating (work) groups, developing strategies and concepts and innovation processes. Her motivation is to design a livable future by bringing people together, which is why her outreach projects and activities are dedicated to future skills. Community management, participation, policy making and citizen science shape her activities and projects on a scientific sociological level in order to take as many people as possible along the way.
Chairwoman
Kathrin Kratzer, MA studied art history, with a focus on baroque art, at the University of Vienna from 1994 to 2002 and completed postgraduate studies in “Iconographic analysis and digital image documentation” at Danube University Krems from 2002 to 2004. Since 2004 she has been working for the cultural department of Lower Austria in the areas of inventory, database maintenance (TMS) and image management.
Secretary
Dr. Florian Wiencek is an expert at the interface of digital media and art & cultural education. He works at the Austrian Center for digital humanities and cultural heritage of the Austrian Academy of Sciences as a training officer and oversees the transfer of knowledge between research projects in the digital humanities and the specialist community and university teaching.
Secretary
Dr. Sven Schlarb works as a scientist at the AIT, Austrian Institute of Technology. For more than 10 years, he has been working on topics related to the digitisation, archiving, provision and research of extensive collections and archival holdings. His main interest lies in the application of natural language processing methods (text mining) as well as linked data and semantic web technologies.
Treasurer
After her studies in art history, classical and Christian archaeology, Mag. Sabine Hartmann worked in various GLAM institutions in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, England and Austria. The focus of her work was on data-based digital projects such as OCR text recognition in historical newspapers, sound AR apps based on archival material, web archiving, collection databases, and much more. Through a coding bootcamp and then working as a programmer, she deepened her digital skills. Sabine has honed her ability to think innovatively and develop new concepts on many projects. She is proficient in successfully managing communication and outreach efforts in a global organisation. As a project manager, she has consistently succeeded in building strategic partnerships, bringing individuals and/or groups together, and achieving common goals.
Treasurer
Sincerely yours,
Your host and facilitator Sylvia
The cultural hackathon aims to make cultural heritage accessible. It should be brought closer to the people and increase their quality of life. Start-ups are being sought that produce innovative products to bring the value of cultural heritage and its utilisation closer to the population. Institutions network and interdisciplinary cooperation emerge.
The word hackathon is a combination of “hack” and “marathon” and thus describes the intensity and duration with which open data is used as the basis for projects. Hackathon participants are invited for 2.5 days to experiment with data from the cultural heritage fund, develop projects, design concepts and create prototypes.
At the end of the events, the small groups will present their projects and pitch them to the public. Sponsors and relevant partners will be invited to implement the project of their choice in order to achieve sustainable success …
The participants will be supported by technical and scientific mentors from the partner organisations in order to develop and implement strategies based on data from the field of arts and culture, which will influence the future of the arts and cultural landscape. Participation is free of charge, only travel and accommodation costs have to be covered by the participants themselves.
We strive to have as diverse a group as possible and therefore invite applications from people working in the fields of software development, art history, art education, science, museum management, project management and many others. No prior knowledge and no prior preparation is neccessary, just the readyness of sharing knowledge and diving deeper with us.
Everyone from 18 and up are welcome to join us and bring their expertise!
The entire event will be documented and the outcome will be shared with the public individually regarding its character (code, presentation, concept..).
We find this map of ours so beautiful that we continue to leave it online, because some of these places are relevant again this year:
The Cultural Hackathon 2023 will take place from 1-3 June 2023 at the FH St. Pölten and we are already guests in March at the #GRAZhack 2023 (16-18 March 2023) at the Graz Museum and also as an outdoor station at the Spektral:
