Seminar Programme (2014/2015)
Seminars take place on Tuesdays (starting at 17:00 c.t.) on a fortnightly basis at the TOPOI Building Dahlem or at the DAI (see below).
For Students
This year, for the first time, our seminar is also part of the academic programme of the Freie Universität under the name “Digitale Methoden in den Altertumswissenschaften” (Seminaristische Übung 13929, see the FU’s Vorlesungsverzeichnis).
The seminar is recognised with 5 credit points (ECTS): this requires the attendance of the seminars and a 15 minute poster presentation on one of the topics covered by the seminar series. The poster presentations can be either in Eglish or German and will take place after the end of the seminars on 14.04.2015 in the TOPOI building dahlem.
Please note: unlike stated in the Vorlesungsverzeichnis the course language is English.
