Camille Françoise

During her studies in museology and digital technologies for cultural institutions, Camille Françoise developed an interest in crowdsourcing projects and open authority issues around knowledge in heritage institutions. As a result, she co-coordinated several editions of co-creative and open community events in the museum field in France.

Simultaneously, she has gathered several professional experiences in France and abroad (Belgium, Canada and the Netherlands) in the collections, digital and research and development departments of Cultural Heritage Institutions.

Faced with the difficulties of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) to continue carrying out their primary missions in digital environments, she focused on these issues from a library perspective within IFLA as a policy and research officer on copyright and open access.
