It was organised in the framework of DARIAH’s Humanities at Scale project by the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research and the University of Zagreb’s Computing Centre – SRCE.
Presenters and workshop managers were lawyers and other prominent experts from a variety of educational, scientific and heritage institutions from Croatia, Austria and Denmark (see programme: http://calenda.org/392560).
