Abstract (EN): The increasing complexity of the initiatives that Universities Cultural and Scientific Heritage Services are involved in entail abilities and competencies that go beyond their current framework of resources and expertise. The Fundacao para a Computacao Cientifica Nacional (FCCN) points out that the world of science is currently facing a data tsunami and it is universally agreed that the ability to store, deliver and process complex and large volumes of data is a top priority. ICT and new digital media have a leverage effect into cohesion and can act as facilitators providing means to Heritage digitization, either as a preservation strategy (risks of destruction of physical artefacts / buildings), or as a means to produce digital contents that can be accessed anytime and anywhere by different users for different purposes. Nonetheless, investment in e-Heritage could be either a total failure or a tremendous success on the way it considers technology obsolescence (in terms of hardware and software) and, depending the dynamical interaction with society. Thus, the lack of policies and the need for long term strategies require a sustainable approach to digital contents (co) production, storage, (re) usage, dissemination, preservation and continuous access in the long term. Open communities, many areas of expertise to create interaction along with educational and research results in a commitment to a sustainable e-Heritage in the Knowledge Society could be an answer.
