We were employed by the Royal Dutch Academy of Science to devise a strategy for a large scale digitisation programme in its eight humanities Institutes. We helped develop the strategy for e-science, organised competence raising events, wrote best practice guidelines, and planned a series of projects to build experience and competence in key areas such as standardization, XML repositories and XML schemas. The project was a uniquely innovative attempt to explore future skills requirements in museums, collections and libraries.

The European Union is now a major influence on anti-discrimination legislation. Europe's anti-discrimination bodies are banding together to share experience in implementing EU anti-discrimination directives. Via Knowledge was chosen by the project leader CGB (the Dutch Equal Treatment Authority) to advise on how the European bodies could best pool their experiences to create a pro-active European anti-discrimination environment.
