NODEM is an acronym for Nordic Digital Excellence in Museums. The concept of NODEM was initiated by Digital Cultural Heritage Centre of Expertise at Interactive Institute in Sweden. It is a Nordic forum for exchange of experience and best practice, on the use of new digital media in communicating with visitors and audiences, at museums, galleries, heritage attractions, natural and science discovery centres, etc.

The purpose of NODEM is experiences in Natural and Cultural Heritage. People from museums, galleries, science and discovery centres, cultural/natural heritage sites and similar organisations will benefit from participating in this event, e.g. exhibit designers, media producers, educators, engineers, artists or ICT developers.

The theme for NODEM 10 is From Place to Presence:
Digital media breaking boundaries between inside, outside and virtual spaces.
One of the most striking features of digital media in museums today is their potential for linking and integrating resources, spaces and users in an abundance of ways. Museums can share content and gain exposure as well as work across online and onsite, users can contribute to knowledge production and choose between different exhibition platforms, and experiences and knowledge can be mediated through a variety of channels.

A local committee has been formed to organize the event, in good cooperation with a program committee with people from all the Nordic countries. The local committee consists of people from research/university, the museum sector and industry.

NODEM 10 will be held at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark and the National Museum of Denmark on 24-26^th of November 2010.

All financial transactions regarding NODEM 10 are handled by the National Museum of Denmark.
