Summary
This week, we revised our VIRAK proposals based on received feedback. Furthermore, we started planning the design and development of a new touch table application, related to the Abel Prize “for outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics”. Furthermore, we joined a gigamapping session, further mapping out front and back-end library infrastructure in conjunction with the Digital Services department.
