Final schedule
Attendance at the NYU Abu Dhabi Winter Institute in Digital Humanities by invitation only (this means that only confirmed participants with a badge will be granted access to the library and the Institute’s events). All courses take place at the NYU Abu Dhabi Campus. Transportation will leave for the excursions and the dinners from the Welcome Center.
Note on locations: Campus locations are labeled as such: C2-L00-E002. This means building C2, level 00 (our ground floor) and room E002. In addition, rooms may have a name, such as this one, the “East Forum.” We have listed the rooms this way in the schedule, adding additional information for clarity as well as links to locations outside the library.
