Adnan Hadzi presented the boattr.uk computer book during the Mazi Symposium.<\/p>\n
The MAZI<\/a> project is concluding at the end of 2018. To mark the occasion we are inviting you to join us as we celebrate our achievements, share our stories and the lessons we learned, and perhaps most importantly, to discuss what should happen next. The symposium will present case studies from our pilot studies in Berlin, Zurich, London <\/strong>and northern Greece<\/strong>, along with talks by invited speakers. Building on the context of our own MAZI experiences, we will broaden out the debate with perspectives from outside the project.<\/p>\n The MAZI EU project is concluding at the end of 2018.
