Today, it is more important than ever for university scholars of the humanities to understand technology – both in relation to their everyday life as teachers and researchers and in relation to the competence requirements that their students will meet when graduated.
The Third Space is a competence project that will be running at Arts during the autumn of 2011, including four workshops and a conference (in Danish) for researchers and students at Arts.
