*EUscreen Conference: Television Heritage & the Web*

/EUscreen organises its *third and final conference* on the topic *Television Heritage & the Web. *The conference takes places at ELTE University in Budapest, on Thursday, September 13, and Friday, September 14, 2012. Attendance is free, but registration is required at: http://euscreen2012.eventbrite.com/

*/Conference Topic/**//*

*/ /*

The television landscape is *evolving at tremendous speed*. According to Eric Schmidt, former CEO at Google, “the Internet is fundamental to the future of TV”. Most broadcasters are struggling to grasp the pitfalls and potentials of the net. Emerging viewing patterns involve increased interactivity, non-stop availabilty and the evidence of choice.**

* *

The current shift suggests *new ways of looking*, where a web-centric view becomes more and more popular. Broadcasters’ resources are being redirected to web based forms of TV and the ‘archive’ increasingly becomes an asset, since it can attract potential users online. The major question for audiovisual archives, educators and researchers these days, is what the current web-based shift implies for television heritage. **

The EUscreen project puts more than 30.000 televisual items online in an act to make historical audiovisual content widely accessible. The conference *Television Heritage & the Web *attempts to discuss and analyse the potentials and pitfalls of the current media transition.
