APARSEN is a Network of Excellence that brings together an extremely diverse set of practitioner organisations and researchers in order to bring coherence, cohesion and continuity to research into barriers to the long-term accessibility and usability of digital information and data, exploiting our diversity by building a long-lived Virtual Centre of Digital Preservation Excellence.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 – ICT-2009.4.1: Digital Libraries and Digital Preservation– under grant agreement No 269977.
