title: Presto4U- European Technology for Digital Audiovisual Media Preservation: Poster (Text) 
creators: Jacqui Gupta
abstract: This poster describes the actions, progress and research results of the Presto4U project, an EC funded two year coordination and support action which started in January 2013 focussing on the long term preservation of digital audiovisual media within a diverse range of Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to identify useful results of research into digital audiovisual preservation and to raise awareness and improve the adoption of these both by technology and service providers as well as media owners. It will deliver new tools and services to connect different constituencies involved in AV Media preservation: expert users, who understand the problems and require technological solutions; researchers who can develop the fundamental knowledge; and technology providers who can commercialise research results as sustainable tools and services.
