The Future of Paleography, Paleography of the Future
The first congress of the UU Paleohub, 'The Future of Paleography, Paleography of the Future'. 10 april 2025
The Utrecht University Paleohub organises the congress ‘The Future of Paleography, Paleography of the Future’ on April 10, 2025, in Utrecht University Library (Science Park). The Utrecht University Paleohub is a group of researchers and students whose interests include the study of script and writing in all its forms. Starting from ancient scripts such as the Mesopotamian
cuneiform tablets and the Egyptian hieroglyphs, through Greek and Roman inscriptions engraved on stone, medieval manuscripts and early modern incunabula, and up to present-day letters, journals, and graffiti, script impacts communication, identity and culture. The congress aims to showcase current projects exploring the interaction of AI and other digital tools with paleography/script research.
Key-note speakers: Mladen Popović, Irene van Renswoude, Mariken Teeuwen, Rebekah Ahrendt, Annelot Vijn
