International Workshop Münster 2013

Collaborating in networks: preparing future projects

Workshop held 3-5 April 2013
at the Liudger Haus
of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (Germany)
organized by Hendrik Schlieper.

This workshop focused on the preparation of the final conference of the COST-WWIH Action. Further developed versions of the collaborative papers discussed here in draft version, will be presented during the final conference which will take place 19-21 June in The Hague.

In the Münster workshop one hour was scheduled for each of the papers, for which several Action members are collaborating (names in bold: colleagues present in Münster; other names: other collaborators in this group).

The relatively open structure of this workshop allowed, on the one hand, presentation and discussion of these concrete examples of collective collaboration in progress; on the other, any other relevant points concerning the final phase of our Action could be discussed.

The workshop was closed by the launch of a new project, for which financing has been obtained, and which was generated by the COST-WWIH Action: COBWWWEB, financed by CLARIN-NL.
