International conference on Digital Archiving in the Arab World

Welcome,

On behalf of the members of the organizing committee and the members of the scientific committee, it is my deepest pleasure to welcome you to the first international symposium on Digital Humanities, the first in the series we are planning for the coming years. This year’s theme is “Digital Archiving in the Arab World”, a large unifying topic. Without doubt, this conference held this year in Abu Dhabi, and which combines research and innovation, will become a pillar and reference in our scientific community for years to come. It is a meeting of ideas and best practices led by international experts, academics and speakers; it is also a great opportunity for us to do an in-depth analysis of the state of digital archiving in the Arab world and how we could take it forward. The Scientific Committee would like to thank you for your scientific proposals and your involvement with us. The organizing committee and the representatives of the institutions are looking forward to meeting you.
