The EIT Food Asset Library stores all relevant EIT Food images, videos, templates and branded content in one place so these can be reused over the years.
There are 2 strands to the EIT Food Asset Library:
| Library | Link | Content | Privacy |
|---|---|---|---|
| The EIT Food Asset Library | Sharepoint folder | Images and short videos, event assets, infographics, quote cards, podcast visuals, project visuals. | Accessible to everyone, from colleagues and partners to external agencies and stakeholders. |
| Video Library | pCloud | EIT Food videos, raw footage, heavy video files. | Accessible to everyone, from colleagues and partners to external agencies and stakeholders. |
The Asset Library and Video Library contain:
1. Finalised assets that are ready for use and respect the EIT Food Brand Guidelines.
2. Unbranded assets, like stock images or raw videos, that need to be edited if used externally so that they comply with the Brand Guidelines.
The upkeep of these libraries depends on all EIT Food colleagues - the more assets are saved here, the more useful the library becomes. However, it is preferable that you contact socialmedia@eitfood.eu if you are unsure on how to upload or download a file, or if you have any questions regarding the Asset Library.
If you are looking for or would like to save content assets in the EIT Food Asset Library, please follow the steps described below.

How to name & tag assets for better identification
1. Naming files: all files should be named including words that help identify the content of the asset. This could vary according to the asset, but in general every file name should include at least one of these:
- The name of the event, programme, company or person featured in the content piece.
- The focus or defining characteristic (e.g. Food Processing, Farmers, Regenerative Agriculture, etc.).
- A number (in case you’re saving a series of images such as a carousel, a campaign, etc.).
2. Tagging files: all files should be correctly tagged, to make sure we find all images when using the search function of the Asset Library. Please let us know if you have any troubles with this system by emailing socialmedia@eitfood.eu.
To include a tag, click on the option "Edit in grid view". Once you're done, click on "Exit grid view". Note that sometimes the Sharepoint page freezes in this process - if you refresh the page, normally the tag will have been saved. Please contact socialmedia@eitfood.eu if that's not the case.
These tags consist of:
- Name (updated automatically when uploading the file or manually if you click on the three dots and select "Rename"): please see above.
- Modified (updated automatically).
- Modified by (updated automatically).
- Year (updated manually): please type the year in which the asset was created or rebranded and then select "add".
- Type of asset (updated manually): please select one type of asset from the menu.
- Focus Area / Theme (updated manually): please select one theme or focus area from the menu, or add a new one by typing it and selecting "add".
- Functional Area (updated manually): please select one type of asset from the menu.
- Region (updated manually): please select one type of asset from the menu.
- More info (updated manually): please type any extra information if needed and then select "add".
For example:
This infographic was created to promote the blogpost "5 ways to accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture".
Following the file naming + tagging system, this file should be:
- Name: Regenerative Agriculture
- Year: 2022
- Type of asset: infographic
- Focus Area / Theme: Regenerative Agriculture
Top tip for naming: If you want to upload a lot of assets in one go, it is best to bulk name them all before uploading them to the library. To do this:
Top tip for tagging: If you want to tag a full column with the same tag, you can insert the tag on the first row and then drag down - like on Excel. |
