New prospects for state-of-the-art technologies in digital humanities: The CrossCult H2020 project: Keynote talk

CrossCult (www.crosscult.eu) is a 3-year H2020 research project, which started in March 2016. It involves 11 European institutions and 14 associated partners from the areas of Computer Science, History and Cultural Heritage. The goal is to spur a change in the way European citizens appraise History, fostering the re-interpretation of what they may have learnt in the light of cross-border interconnections among pieces of cultural heritage, other citizens' viewpoints and physical venues. This talk will look into how state-of-the-art technologies can be applied to deliver novel and meaningful interactive experiences in Digital Humanities.
