Epigraphy.info Workshop V Leuven (online)

The fifth epigraphy.info workshop in Leuven will be taking place from November 3rd-6th, 2020. Due to the current international measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be fully online (Zoom platform).

Registration

In order to register for the workshop:

  1. Fill in the Eventbrite registration form until September 18th, 2020.

  2. Send the registration confirmation to info@epigraphy.info and specify in the email whether you are planning to attend the workshop in person (if the international measures will allow it) or if you prefer to participate via video conference.

As the international situation is changing very quickly, we will regularly keep you up to date, and we will contact you again before the workshop for a last confirmation.

Poster Session (Deadline extended)

The Leuven workshop will host an E-poster session dedicated to the presentation of new and ongoing projects in the field of Digital Epigraphy. The E-posters will be displayed in a virtual environment for the whole duration of the workshop; after that you will have the possibility to have them published on the Epigraphy.info website.

E-Posters Guidelines

E-Posters may include text, images, graphs as well as videos and audio. You can prepare your poster in the format that you find more suitable (PDF, PowerPoint, .mp4, .mpg, avi.). The only rule is: keep it short!

For PDF you should limit your documentation to a single page (ideally 1080 x 1536 px), PowerPoint presentation should include no more than 3 slides. The maximum duration of a video is 5 minutes. Please send us your E-Poster via a file transfer website (like WeTransfer: https://wetransfer.com/ or Smash: https://fromsmash.com/).

Be creative!

We want to make our poster session as effective and inclusive as possible: if you have any creative ideas or suggestions about formats or virtual rooms, please send us an email or write in the Google Groups and we will take them into consideration.

Deadline extended

In order to present a poster, please send a title and a short abstract to our committee by September 25th, 2020 (info@epigraphy.info). By September 30th, 2020 you will receive a notification from the steering committee whether your E-Poster has been accepted. E-Posters should be submitted by October 28th, 2020.

Technical Training

As in Vienna and in Hamburg the Leuven workshop will be preceded by a technical training, which will be structured in three sessions. This will take place from November 3rd to 4th, 2020 and will have, as the main workshop, a hybrid form.
