Ever followed a footnote that led… nowhere?
Join us on February 12 to learn first-hand how historians address the various challenges of working with archival materials 👇
We have opened an inquiry into the use of artificial intelligence by external experts in the evaluation of EU funding proposals.
We have asked @ec.europa.eu and the SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA):
