This in-person only event explores the many ways in which biases shape cultural heritage data and the implications they have for GLAM institutions and their Labs worldwide. As discussions around this topic continue to gain momentum, we have invited experts to share their perspectives on gender bias in cultural heritage data, the cultural biases that influence collecting and curating practices, and the impact of algorithmic bias in the tools and technologies used across the sector. The program will conclude with a panel discussion that will reflect on the challenges involved and explore strategies for addressing and mitigating potential biases.
We are pleased to have attracted a large group of international experts as speakers to offer the following preliminary program. We may make minor changes and additions to the program in the future and ask you to check the ONB Labs page regularly.
