Last night, we collected the @europanostra.bsky.social Award for the @odeuropa.bsky.social project. It’s such an honour that Odeuropa resonated with so many people and the jury! (and it was super fun to dress up for this, because let’s be honest, there aren’t enough fancy parties in academia 😉) 🏆🍾

It’s on! European Heritage Excellence Day 2025 @europanostra.bsky.social @odeuropa.bsky.social

Fancy coffee break room at #LDK2025. With the reusable snazzy conference travel mug 🙂 #conferencegoodie

You can still vote for the #PublicChoiceAward until 12 September at vote.europanostra.org Might I suggest that you put in a vote (you get three!) for this multidisciplinary smell project @odeuropa.bsky.social that ran from 2021 to 2023? #hinthint

Last week, I got to attend and present at pfia2025.u-bourgogne.fr PFIA is the umbrella conference of the French #AI community co-locating 9 conferences and 4 thematic days. My presentation was linked to the Ingénerie des Connaissances conference and Journée Humanités Numeriques & IA 1/3

Looks like I'll be working this into the weekend...I swear it's related to my current research! cdn.ima.org.uk/wp/wp-conten... 🥞🥞🥞

Very snazzy @amsterdammuseum.bsky.social Journal Issue #3 launch. Maybe other journals want to get inspired? 😉🍾🎶

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Een herinnering dat we voor het HisGIS.nl project twee vacatures open hebben staan: * Coördinator vrijwilligers (vacatures.knaw.nl/job-invite/2...) * 2x Student Assistent (vacatures.knaw.nl/job-invite/2...) Solliciteren kan tot 20/1/2025
