What a Digital Humanist May Do with “Bad” Data

Posted on March 26, 2017 by Dagmar Riedel
Reply

On 24-25 March 2017, the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) held its annual General Assembly and Conference in Salamanca (Spain).  The Universidad de Salamanca, together with the MCAA’s Spain-Portugal Chapter, was hosting the meeting, since the Chapter’s outgoing chair Luis Sanz Andréu teaches at Salamanca.  On 26 March 2017, the Spain-Portugal Chapter held its own annual meeting, and in the afternoon chapter members had the opportunity to present their research projects to their colleagues.  The lightening-talk format was set at eight minutes, with a maximum of three slides, for a summary in simple terms, straight to the point and comprehensible to all fields.  As conventional wisdom holds that an average elevator ride takes between thirty seconds and two minutes, an eight-minute presentation could be considered the long version of an elevator pitch.

 

 

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 706611.
