On the 30th of October, we participated in the 3rd workshop of the Meeting on Digital Humanities. Led by Federico Boschetti, it was entitled “Shared Visions: Marco Polo’s Travels from Medieval Collective Imagination to Contemporary Computer-Assisted Imagery”. This event bridged the past and the present, exploring how Marco Polo’s journeys—as depicted in the medieval manuscript MS. Bodl. 264—can be reimagined and interpreted through modern technology, especially AI.

We are happy to announce that Shakespeare's last solo play, ‘The Tempest’, first published in 1623, has been uploaded into the Shakespeare Translation Memory. Users can access the original text and Professor Fátima Vieira’s Portuguese translation.

The JRAAS team (Junior Researchers in Anglo-American Studies) and the CETAPS Digital Lab  (Centre for English, Translation, and Anglo-Portuguese Studies) - a research centre at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto - is presenting its latest film series, entitled ‘Thalassologia: The Blue Humanities in Film’.

The doctoral research “STEAM for all: from representations to storytelling and hands-on activities towards gender equity” is taking its first steps in the field of science communication as part of the Doctoral Program in Science Education and Communication. In this research, we have a transversal role of the digital humanities that will impact from the analysis of data to the production of visualisation materials.
