About me
Nico is the general manager of meemoo, a Flemish non profit organisation focused on safeguarding digital heritage in cooperation with the public-, cultural- and media sector. Meemoo operates a digital archive containing more that 25 PB of digital material voor 170+ organisations. We provide our partners with expert advice and set up large scale digitisation programs (eg. for AV, photo and newspapers). Through our online platforms we make the archived material discoverable and ready for use. The Archive for Education, for example, gives more than 180.000 teachers and students access to over 25.000 video and audio items for use in the classroom. Nico Verplancke has been the general manager of meemoo from the beginning, 10 years ago. During that time, the organisation grew both in scope (including two mergers with other organisations) and in headcount (now +60 people).
