Kick-Off ERC-STG SCARCE

 Kick-Off ERC-STG SCARCE

April 17, 6 pm, Aula am Campus, Hof 1.11 (Spitalgasse 2, 1090 Vienna)

SCARCE (Sustained Concerns: Administration of Mineral Resource Extraction in Central Europe, 1550-1850) is a new five-year project at the University of Vienna. It aims to provide a history of today's stakeholder conflicts by showing how contradictory principles of resource management – economic development, sustainability, and technological innovation – were forged in protoindustrial settings. Sebastian Felten and his team will analyse thousands of administrative reports from across Central Europe and beyond using handwritten text recognition (HTR) and a method based on historical epistemology.

Join us for our kick-off event with short presentations and refreshments. All are welcome!

No RSVP necessary. The presentations will be streamed online via the following LINK (https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66185747619?pwd=RFR3VnBnM1J4M1dqZEZaczFRRkM5dz09).
