What a brilliant talk from Dr. Melissa Terras from the Centre for Digital Humanities of University College London:
Dr. Melissa Terras: The Vision After the Sermon

- Maintain high visibility – attend events, reach out
- Invest the time
- Invest the resources
- Get institutional backing
The video is really worth a watch. Among the many gems is this poster promoting the Centre (this falls under “visibility”):
