The highly successful organisation of “Research Day” by Ionian University on Tuesday, March 17, effectively highlighted the breadth and dynamism of the University’s research work. The event, which took place in the specially designed space of the Corfu Port Authority, served as a multidimensional platform for scientific communication.
Research Day concluded with the awarding of the “Markos Avlonitis” prize to young researchers, followed by a lecture from Professor Nektarios Tavernarakis of the Department of Medicine at University of Crete, Honorary Doctor of the Department of Informatics at Ionian University.
Professor Christina Banou of Ionian University presents the 'Information Technologies' Laboratory, Department of Archival, Library, and Museum Studies.
The participation of the Department of Archival, Library, and Museum Studies was of particular interest, with its booth showcasing the ongoing project “Digitisation and Documentation of the Weekly Newspaper Enimerosi.” The project is carried out by the ‘Information Technologies’ Laboratory of the Department, under the scientific supervision of the Laboratory Director, Professor Petros Kostagiolas.
The presentation (display and poster) focused on the methodological and technological approaches applied for the systematic digitisation of the newspaper’s issues, as well as the practices that ensure the organisation, preservation, and multifaceted use of the digital content. The extensive research work of the ‘Information Technologies’ Laboratory was presented at the event by Professor Christina Banou of the Department.
