Past Activities

platform{DH} Lectures

DHu.F has allowed the Principal Flemish Research Unit’s platform{DH} to continue and expand its Lecture series. The idea behind this series is to illustrate the diversity in the field through a series of interesting examples of DH in practice. It is free and open to all, and attended by students (BA, MA, PhD) and researchers who are affiliated to various DHu.F partners. Its lectures are presented by both Flemish and international experts, whose travel and accommodation costs are covered by the WOG’s funding.
