APAC participates at MBD 2020 - 2nd International Conference on Museum Big Data

The MBD conferences were born at University College London in Qatar in 2019 as part of a research project on Museum Big Data funded by the Qatar Foundation. This project led to the MBD2019 conference, thus initiating the first international research forum in the field of Museum Big Data. The MBD conferences showcase the most innovative research and practical work in Museum Big Data. The main objective of each MBD conference is to promote high-quality research in the field as well as to provide an excellent opportunity for networking in this emerging field.
