Impresso Seminar 2026: Latest Developments in Press History Research

impresso team —  Thu, 19.03 2026

Keen to stay up to date with initiatives in the field of computational media history, the Impresso project is organizing a short series of conferences this spring, inviting colleagues to present their current research in order to gain inspiration, share ideas, and build bridges between our ongoing efforts. This series is the second season of Impresso Seminars: see the fall 2025 program.

To maintain an informal atmosphere, we organize these sessions during the lunch break, where colleagues present their ongoing research for 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion with the Impresso team and interested attendees (registration below).
