MOI will help museums to develop their capacity to meet the demands of a changing, more diverse, increasingly digital and ageing society. During the project period of two years, already existing museum frameworks for self-evaluation and quality development will be further developed. These national and/or regional models will be cross-fertilized to create a new European-wide evaluation framework, with impact at its core, for the benefit of both museums and European citizens.
The framework will be developed in a series of collaborative cooperation workshops. Throughout the process, the framework will be tested at a number of pilot museums and to allow stakeholders’ knowledge and needs to feed into the developing model. At regular Stakeholders Forums, developers and museums will meet for open dialogues. The final version of the framework will be published in seven languages together with guidance and promotional material. The framework will be openly accessible for all.
