In Person

Come along to our Fika* - a chance to meet others working with digital resources and methods and talk tech over a cup of tea and a slice of cake. No agenda, no action items: just a group of people gathering to discuss their projects, ideas and research approaches. Fikas also provide an opportunity for an informal chat with the CDCS team. Please book a place via events.ed.ac.uk (link above), so that we can plan an order of refreshments!

*Fika - a Swedish verb and a noun: to take a break, with coffee or tea, and a bite to eat. A time for colleagues and friends to get together and chat.

This event is open to staff or postgraduate researchers in the College of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as anyone based in Informatics, IS, the Library. We also welcome anyone else with an interest in working with these groups.

Room 3.05, Edinburgh Futures Institute
