Natural History Museum - Denmark

Natural History Museum Denmark at the University of Copenhagen leads the DaSSCo programme and sets the direction for how Denmark’s natural history collections are digitised at scale. The museum contributes with major scientific collections and deep experience with collection management. This helps develop common standards so different institutions can work together smoothly and turn physical specimens into structured digital data that can move through the national infrastructure.

Technical University of Denmark

DTU is the technical engine behind some of DaSSCo’s digitisation methods. The university develops and refines imaging systems, 3D scanning techniques, and automated processing workflows that make high-volume digitisation possible. DTU’s work helps ensure that specimens are captured efficiently and consistently, so data can flow into the shared DaSSCo systems for eveyone to benefit from.
