The “Deep Dat Science for Digital History” doctoral training unit (D4H-DTU) hold its yearly event at the Robert Schuman House in Luxembourg. It was a fantastic day full of great workshops, excellent food, and a very nice working atmosphere!




Beyond Murdock: Moving Fast Enough to Matter, Carefully Enough to Count

Source code must survive before it can be used as a historical source, yet code has not traditionally been treated as something worth preserving. In practice, it runs, gets overwritten, deleted, lost to hardware failures, or simply neglected. That is why the question of whether code deserves preservation is not purely technical: it is historical and political, as is the question of who bears responsibility for ensuring that preservation.

The Lesvos Summer School, 2025

Born out of a previous brainstorm meeting at the Metochi Study Centre in 2024, the summer school’s key goal was for the participating PhD candidates to collaborate on a joint project: The Lesvos Time Machine. Inspired by the European Time Machine initiative and the Luxembourg Time Machine project, this time machine project sought to promote team-building and interactional expertise.

A Research Stay at Home

This spring I’ve had the opportunity to go on a research stay to the University of Sydney in Australia. What started as a simple email to an archaeologist who works on Pacific island archaeology, because of my interest in one of his books, turned into the idea that we could collaborate and share research methodologies while also presenting my work to a new audience and talk with students hoping to study abroad, all while being able to visit home for the first time since 2022.
