 **Evelien Hauwaerts,Curator Medieval Manuscripts, Openbare Bibliotheek Brugge**<br/>
 Evelien serves as the curator of manuscripts at the Public Library of Bruges and is a steering member of the IIIF Network Group Flanders & Netherlands. She co-curated the Mmmonk.be project in 2022, which delved into IIIF-driven metadata aggregation and complex IIIF annotations. Drawing from her experience as both a collection manager and researcher, Evelien aims to bridge the gap between IIIF end-users and developers. She developed and hosts a workshop to introduce IIIF to end-users, gathering valuable feedback that is then relayed to developers for enhancing user experience and interface design. Evelien has a Ph.D. in Medieval languages and literature (Université de Poitiers), a master’s degree in Romance languages (KU Leuven), and two research master’s degrees in Medieval History (KU Leuven and Université de Poitiers).
