6.5. Website IÖG
Public relations are not limited to press material or journals. Also the homepage of the
Austrian partner, the Institute for Historical Research has been updated and informs the
public about the aims and goals of the project. A more detailed information here is planned
for the second half of the project.
6.6. Journals
Several articles were launched in professional and as well as more public journals. This
includes an article in the “Danube Watch”, an international journal focussed on the Danube
area (March 2010). Articles were published in archaeological journals: SONIVS, featuring the
archaeology of Upper Austria (spring 2010), the Cultural Computing Heritage Conference
(summer 2009) and “The Museum” in spring 2009,
6.7. Roman events
Festivals and events bring together researchers with local policy makers and a wider public
in lively and creative dialogue. We found this to be a professionally rewarding experience
contributing to new ideas and helping us to communicate with the locals. Roman events were
organised in Linz in the framework of the „Long Night of the Museums“ together with the
LinzGenesis museum (3 October 2009) and a 2-day event organised together with the
municipality of Tulln and the Roman museum in Tulln (18-19 September 2010). During both
events the dialogue was established and supported by the presentations of groups of Roman
soldiers, who helped to explain the Roman empire and the importance and role of its frontiers
and the army.
