  Digitization of Heritage Librarian Funds: Our Necessity and Obligation

  Digitalizacija baštinskih knjižničarskih fondova: naša nužnost i obveza

  A collaboration with the Institute for the Culture of Vojvodina Croats and the Saint Michael’s Franciscan Monastery in Subotica during the months of July and August of 2015 has resulted in a practicum for the senior students of the University Interdisciplinary Graduate Study Program in Librarianship. The students have opened a gateway to one of the richest heritage librarian funds, and the four weeks of their life with the books and socialization in a multicultural and multiethnic city, which is twinned with their hometown of Osijek, have produced valuable experiences, as well as a successfully initiated and professional processing of library materials. Established are the possibilities for an acquaintance with the valuable (monumental) library collections and the acquisition of a hands-on librarian habituation subsequent to a theoretical universitarian instruction, whereby a pathway has been paved for the next generations to become a part of this unique cultural initiative. By virtue of the prospective assets allocated by this international project, it could be possible to devise a follow-up to this endeavor. Thus, in addition to an academic knowledge, the students would repeatedly have an opportunity to be practically involved in the conservation, processing, and valorization of the heritage librarian funds.

  Health in flesh and numbers

  Comparative approaches to health technologies

  L’un des principaux objectifs de ce colloque est d’interroger la façon dont les représentations et les imaginaires sociaux de la santé se réfléchissent dans les technologies contemporaines, ou encore, comment ces technologies modifient en retour l’idée que nous nous faisons de la santé, en créant par exemple de nouvelles attentes. La diversité des champs d’application et des solutions technologiques (des capteurs et de la domotique aux objets communicants en passant par les big data, la médecine personnalisée, les applications sur mobiles, la réalité virtuelle ou la robotique médicale) invite ainsi à réfléchir aux représentations sociales qui les soutiennent et les orientent, le plus souvent implicitement.

  New dynamics for cultural research - the Culture-CNRS agreement 2016-2020

  L'accord-cadre Culture-CNRS 2016-2020

  Le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication (MCC) et le Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) développent une politique scientifique partagée sur des thématiques communes faisant appel à de multiples domaines de la science, avec une forte prise en compte de l’interdisciplinarité. Ainsi, sciences humaines et sociales, chimie, physique, mathématiques, écologie, géologie ou sciences du numérique contribuent au dynamisme de la recherche dans les domaines du patrimoine, de la création, des médias et des industries culturelles. Cette politique est formalisée depuis 1992 par un accord-cadre, régulièrement renouvelé.

  Semantic Web for Scientific Heritage

  SW4SH 2016: Second International Workshop

  Classicists and historians are interested in developing textual databases, in order to gather and explore large amounts of primary source materials. For a long time, they mainly focused on text digitization and markup. They only recently decided to try to explore the possibility of transferring some analytical processes they previously thought incompatible with automation to knowledge engineering systems, thus taking advantage of the growing set of tools and techniques based on the languages and standards of the semantic Web, such as linked data, ontologies, and automated reasoning. SW4SH 2016 aims to provide a leading international and interdisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest research in the field of Semantic Web for the preservation and exploitation of our scientific heritage, the study of the history of ideas and their transmission.
