Scientific discussion panel with Dr André Heck (Digitalisation Manager at the Gutenberg Museum) and Prof. Torsten Schrade (Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Head of the Digital Academy at the Academy of Sciences and Arts in Mainz)

In addition to their traditional tasks of collecting, preserving, researching, and communicating, museums must now make cultural heritage fit for the AI age. Since 2025, the Gutenberg Bibles have been available online, which has greatly benefited research and the public. But is this data secure? Dr. André Heck discusses with NFDI4Culture spokesperson Prof. Torsten Schrade how to open a treasure chest while strengthening its lock.
