FICKERS Andreas - invited professor, Roy Rosenzweig Centre for History and New Media at George Mason University in Washington, March-April 2023. Andreas Fickers, director of the C 2DH, was received as visting researcher at the Roy Rosenzweig Centre for History and New Media at George Mason University in Washington, while the C2DH welcomed the American researchers Laura Fretwell and Caroline Stuart Greer in Luxembourg. While the RRCHNM has a strong reputation for its pioneering role in the field of digital history, notably in developing digital tools and applications for historical information retrieval, management, and new ways of presenting and sharing historical knowledge online, C2DH has a focus on digital hermeneutics and on experimenting with new forms of transmedia storytelling, especially in the field of digital public history. This cooperation made it possible to exchange research processes and experiences between the two institutions and resulted in valuable synergies. This initiative was supported by the FNR's Inter Mobility programme.
