Announcement first Culture Community Plenary

"Children group in carnival costume in Roßwein with added script" Creator: Günther Hanisch

As the most important anual event in NFDI4Culture, the Culture Community Plenary (CCP) is dedicated to the exchange of knowledge between the consortium and the community. It serves to report on the targets achieved to date and on further developments. It also serves to involve the 4Culture community, for example through keynote presentations on initiatives and projects in the domain of material and immaterial cultural heritage. For the upcoming Plenary, we would like to offer different formats to foster consortial collaboration and ensure extensive exchange of knowledge, expertise and exprerience.

The Plenary will be held at the Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz.

Since NFDI4Culture works with a particularly diverse and innovative community through the participation of architecture, art, music, theater, dance, film, and media studies, we would like to invite you to actively shape the Community Days on Wednesday and Friday.
