In the ICTs & Society Network Meeting held in Castelldefels this summer, we had the opportunity to share with Prof. Lazlo Karvalics our respective endeavours in common directions, for instance, our Glossarium BITri and his "Information-whatsoever".
We are now very pleased to welcome Lazlo as BITrum member, who will be also involved in the domusBITae initiative as part of the consortium. His own skills and the excellence of the team he represents are a sure basis for a fruitful cooperation and the success of our common strives.
