I just learned of a very interesting symposium that's taking place on December 5-6, 2016 titled "Cultural Heritage and Data: the Role of Research infrastructure". This is organized by a number of organizations, including the Library of Congress, The National Gallery, The Smithsonian and George Washington University on the US side, and an several organizations representing the member states of the EU on the European side.

Here's more information on the conference. Registration is free, but closes November 30.
