Digital Learning Technology Enhancement is progressing

NEWS FROM TÜBINGEN
by Birgit Hallmann

Time is quickly running by and next Sunday we will be celebrating the first of Advent here in Tübingen.

We are in the middle of the busy semester and we have welcomed our first overnight guests to our rooms again.
Our guest this week was Jonas Müller, a doctoral student of Loren Stuckenbruck from the University in Munich. He presented his work on: “The role of Abraham in the Galatian conflict. An introductory question in the context of ancient Judaism“ at the English German Colloquium for New Testament.

Due to a public transport strike, one of our scheduled speakers, Frau Dr. Verena Fugger from Vienna, was unable to travel to Tübingen at the last minute. Thanks to the technology capabilities of our University partners, we were able to shift her lecture to a live online presentation with very short notice.

The renovation and the digital upgrade of our seminar room at the Institute are also progressing very well.

The first furniture has been delivered, the 50+ year-old massive library tables have been disposed of, and all the materials for the digital classroom have been delivered. With the help of Mihail Bolonka from Heiligenkreuz in Austria, we hope to have all of this done before the Christmas break.

We would like to thank everyone, especially Mihail, for their great support in this major project.

(If you would like to make a special "end-of-the-year" contribution to help defray the expenses of this mission-critical upgrade, we would be most grateful for this additional help!)
