DP probably will not (yet) make up a whole Batchelor or Masters program. Which mindset our future colleagues would preferably have,

• IT,
• information governance,
• history/heritage studies/museology,
• computer engineering,
• anything else?
• any background is good as long as the person cares about DP?
