Following on from the great success of last year's Digital Classicist Work in Progress seminars at the Institute of Classical Studies in London we hope to repeat the series in the summer of 2007. The general theme of the series is classical research questions or projects with innovative technology in the approach or solution. (Interpret that broadly: the theme is the Digital Classicist, but there has to be some real classics and some real computing in there.)

The seminars will be followed by wine and refreshments.
