Investment RE-C04-i01 is one of two different investments of the National Resilience and Recovery Plan (PRR) that focus on Culture and refers to Cultural Networks and Digital Transition. This investment has three main objectives:
1 – The modernisation of the technological infrastructure of the network of public cultural facilities
2 – The digitisation of arts and heritage
3 – The internationalisation, modernisation and digital transition of books and authors
Through these measures, this investment at national level will, firstly, enable the network of cultural facilities to become technologically equipped with software, hardware and qualified resources, supporting the digital transition of the network of public cultural facilities.
Secondly, increasing the digitisation rate of artistic works and cultural heritage in Portugal, particularly in contemporary art, national museums, monuments, and cinema, will enhance the public experience and ensure the future preservation of works of art and heritage in their most comprehensive form.
Finally, the investment will support the Portuguese language and those involved in the book production and marketing chain, such as authors, publishers, and bookshops. This will be achieved by supporting the translation of literary works, the publication of audiobooks and ebooks, as well as the modernisation and digital transition of bookshops.
