On 22 and 23 March 2012, the CVCE and the Trier Center for Digital Humanities held the first THATCamp in the Greater Region. This event followed the Digital Humanities Luxembourg Symposium (DHLU 2012), which took place on 21 and 22 March and was organised by the CVCE and the University of Luxembourg. For two days, international researchers, including several humanities specialists from the digital community and a number of specialists in digital media, were able to exchange ideas on tools and methods and enjoyed the novel experience of taking part in an ‘unconference’.
