Project presentations

With the aim to provide space for the show-casing of some of the possibilities of technology-based implementations of Humanities research questions and of offering opportunities for the exchange of ideas and for discussions the call for the Summer School included also the invitation to send in proposals for project presentations. The call was taken up by quite a number of applicants. Furthermore, the director of the University Library Leipzig has agreed to present projects as well:
