On 12 October and 2 November 2022, ELI organised High Level Expert Group (HLEG) meetings on Digital Inheritance. Leading experts from academia and practice explored the topic and discussed the scope of one or more prospective ELI projects in the field.

The first meeting served to identify key issues in the field of Digital Inheritance which were discussed in depth at the second meeting, which focused on the scope of a prospective ELI project.
