Since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the digital transformation of culture has taken on a new meaning. Information and communication components of digitization have become important resistance elements to the occupiers. Among the main directions that the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy is currently working on:
- the digital transformation itself, which aims to re-engineer existing algorithms and services, in particular, changing the procedure for keeping records of cultural values ​​and heritage from paper to electronic;
- direct digitization of existing exhibits and objects in museums, as well as all cultural values;
- digital online projects, for example, online museums or information portals.
