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
Also Dijon is an amazing place, I will need to come back to explore it more, but at least I got a teaser of some fabulous Burgundy wines, the old city centre and the Olympic Swimming pool (that was outside the conference social programme, I just added that to my personal schedule myself 😇) 3/3
You can find the programme of the excellent Digital Humanities day at: pfia2025.u-bourgogne.fr/journees/Hum... and my slides for "Layering Knowledge to Unpack the Layers of Meaning in Historical Texts" at zenodo.org/records/1582... More cool French DH activities at: sadhn-madics.github.io 2/3
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
Interesting, for me conference season just ended and the next one is not until September. Enjoy!!

Yearly office first responders training. This time with iPad stats on the CPR, virtual fires and a colleague hidden away in a tiny corner on the 4th floor that we missed on our first sweep (sorry!) #neverstoplearning #bhv @knawhuc.bsky.social
It’s always fun to hang out at the @knaw-nl.bsky.social headquarters. Especially when you get to do an infographics workshop and have lunch in the library 😀 ✏️📊🖼️
Last meeting of the day, not at my regular office 😀 #culturalai @rijksmuseum.bsky.social
Off to Groningen to meet colleagues old and new!
Maybe you want to try explorer.odeuropa.eu/smells?q=dea... We'd love to hear whether this resource is useful to you at all!

Public libraries rock and the Biblioteca civica "Girolamo Tartarotti" di Rovereto is particularly well kitted out with great WiFi, comfy seats, and wonderful art (and lots of books and magazines that we didn’t look into today) #coworking #paperdeadline
Received word that the manuscript of one of my PhD candidates is approved by the committee right before leaving for a colleague’s PhD defence. It’s raining PhDs! 😀
