We're so proud of our own Teddy Lehre for winning the #ACIS Krause Research Fellowship!

Professor Joe Nugent successfully launched JoyceWays at #BCIreland.
JoyceWays is not just a map. It is a time machine. An augmented reality layer of literature over the streets of Dublin.
There are more launches to come in Paris and in Krakow.
