Europeana is run by the Europeana Foundation. The Council contributes to the decision-making of the Foundation and advises its members on strategy and policy from the content providers' point of view.
The elected officers of the Council are:
- Francisco Barbedo, Portuguese Archives
- Anne Bergman-Tahon, Federation of European Publishers
- Kjell Nilsson, National Library of Sweden

The Council of Content Providers and Aggregators is a pan-European forum where the views of content holders can be reflected, from big aggregators to individual institutions. It will represent museums, libraries, archives and the audio-visual sector across a wide range of Member States.
There will be a full meeting of all members annually, and other meetings as needed. The Council can form working groups to look at topics that are of common concern.
Members of the Council will also have a role in communicating to their own national and domain networks the value of providing content to Europeana.
That value includes:
- Improving users' experience by integrating all types of content
- Enriching the content by displaying it alongside related material from other countries, other domains
- Knowledge transfer between different institutions, domains and countries
- Sharing best practice and common standards
- Being part of an award-winning, highly visible portal that is the focus of political attention
- Demonstrating the relevance of cultural and scientific heritage institutions to new generations of users
