Tensions of Europe Digital Workshop Festival

30 June 2021, Online meeting via WEBEX, 10h-18h CET 

We welcome proposals for participation in the workshop Data as a new resource? Similarities and differences of data vs. material resources, which will take place online via a Webex meeting on June 30th, 2021 between 10h-18h CET.

The workshop is part of the Tensions of Europe Digital Workshop Festival. Tensions of Europe is an international scholarly network and hub for international research, education and outreach initiatives on Technology in European history.

This exploratory workshop is dedicated to scholars interested in technological developments related to digital technologies and resource developments. It aims at bringing together scholars with interests in digital data and material resources development and at creating a broad dialogue on data as a resource. More specifically, we intent to discuss three topics : (1) historical parallels of digital data with the development of other key material resources, (2) data as a commodity and its infrastructure, and (3) sustainability issues and (big) data.

Dear members of the ECREA Communication History Section,

We really hope this post finds you all well !
We are organizing an informal online meeting to catch up and discuss about future activities of our section. As we all know, we should have met in Braga in October 2020, but due to the Pandemic the ECREA general conference was postponed to September 2021. Now, before the new conference in September 2021, we would like to have a chat with you.It will be a simple virtual meeting, on January 27, from 1 to 2 pm CET.
In case you have questions or issues you want to be debated, please send them to the sections chairs (alias the three of us).


All the best and Happy New Year 2021,
Gabriele, Christian, and Valérie
