#CfP International workshop on CLASSICAL TEXTS IN DIGITAL MEDIA, University of Patras (Greece)

We are delighted to announce an international workshop on “CLASSICAL TEXTS IN DIGITAL MEDIA”, which will take place at the University of Patras (Greece) on 1-3 Sept. 2023 (room II-9, Conference and Cultural Centre). The event will be live-streamed (connect via https://zoom.us/join - meeting ID: 980 8170 8162 - passcode: 525286) and anyone interested is welcome to join.

This workshop will bring together leading researchers and research groups in digital Classics, with the twofold aim of: (i) showcasing and sharing knowledge of the latest developments in working with digitised Greek and Latin texts and related materials; and (ii) identifying hindrances to / limitations of this work, with a view to establishing possible ways forward. At the same time, there will be a round-table discussion with Classics' publishers on the prospects and challenges of digital and open-access publications in the field.

The event is hosted by the Greek Tragedians Online project (https://eadh.org/projects/greek-fgramentary-tragedians-online-fragtrag1), with funding from the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (ELIDEK). It is also endorsed by the following organisations: U. of Ioannina Institute of Digital Innovation, Brepols, Brill, Cambridge University Press, De Gruyter, Hellenic National Documentation Centre.
