Digitization and linguistic diversity: kick-off event and panel discussion

We would like to invite you to the kick-off event of our WWTF-funded DIGILINGDIV project, featuring a brief overview of why we think that investigating the relationship between digitization and linguistic diversity matters and what we plan to do in our research, as well as a panel discussion on the matter.

Programme:

• Welcome addresses by Michael Stampfer (Managing director of WWTF) and Allan Hanbury (Vice Dean, Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien)
• Introduction to DIGILINGDIV by the project PIs, Andreas Baumann, Hannes Fellner & Julia Neidhardt

Our guests for the panel discussion are going to be:

• Martin Fritz (Secretary General of the Austrian Commission for UNESCO)
• Alíz Horváth (Assistant professor of East Asian History and Digital Humanities, Central European University, and Head of the DARIAH Multilingual DH Working Group)
• Barbara Soukup (Assistant professor of the Sociolinguistics of German in Austria, Department of German Studies, University of Vienna)
• Hannes Werthner (Professor of Informatics, TU Wien, and co-initiator of the Digital Humanism initiative)

There will be snacks and drinks after the discussion.
