As one of 24 recently launched projects in the field of eHumanities, heureCLÉA was invited to a KickOff Conference in Leipzig by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Within the framework of the conference the participants got the chance to present their projects to scholars and sponsors. heureCLÉA achieved great response – not least due to the already well developed and publicly available annotation tools heureCLÉA builds upon. The conference also offered the chance to take first steps towards integrating heureCLÉA to the eHumanities infrastructure DARIAH-DE.
