A year ago, at a very similar session at the EVA Minerva conferences, I presented an initiative that I started here at the VLJI. The project has just been approved by the institute administration. I had in mind an incubator for projects, an A-Team of Digital Humanists that will work with the universities, and that will also run specialized workshops on the different methods and approaches in the digital humanities. When I later received the approved part of the budget, 20, 000 NIS, It was made clear that there will be no dream team. We can only kick start one or two very small pilot projects, and then hope for the best. Gladly, as we started working, we found that there was a lot of interest around us in supporting events, conferences and workshops, and we found some generous collaborators and hosts. And so we held 4 very special events:
Again I would like to invite you to register to register to the group, to follow our website to be updated on the rest of our activities and to join the discussion on our facebook group.
