This week we held an online dissemination conference for ELTE students and the wider public, showcasing the outcomes of our project and celebrating the success of our international cooperation.

Participants had the opportunity to explore the project’s key milestones, including the interactive online map and catalogue, the structure of the video modules, and the newly developed e-learning materials.

The audience raised several insightful questions and shared valuable suggestions for further improvement with Professor Dániel Bagi, Project Leader, and Péter Kovács, PhD candidate and Project Manager.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to a thoughtful and inspiring discussion! 🌍✨

🇪🇺 ReCall Project – 3rd International Study Meeting in Wrocław (3–5 December 2025)

Last week our partners gathered in Wrocław for the third and final international study meeting of the ReCall Project. Over three intensive days, we focused on testing the full course materials, reviewing the e-learning tasks, and finalising all components for the project’s completion.

📚 Work Programme Highlights
During the meeting, partners engaged in intensive working sessions at the Institute of History, testing the course materials, reviewing the e-learning tasks, and finalising the project’s remaining components. The programme also included a study trip to key Central European heritage sites, such as the Siedlęcin Ducal Tower, Bolków, the Church of Peace in Świdnica, and the renowned Racławice Panorama in Wrocław. These activities offered both professional insight and an opportunity to reflect together on the project’s achievements as we move towards its completion.

Beyond the long hours of collaboration, the meeting also offered a valuable opportunity to strengthen partnerships, reflect on two years of joint work, and celebrate the upcoming completion of the ReCall Project.

Thank you to all partners for your dedication, expertise, and the inspiring days in Wrocław! 🇵🇱🇨🇿🇭🇺

🏰 Visegrád Citadel & Royal Palace in the 15th Century — Theoretical Reconstruction

Sharing a gem from Pazirik Informatikai Kft. — Hungary and the region’s leading studio for historical 3D reconstructions, animated shorts, and interactive museum apps.

Visegrád is not just a ruin on a hill. In the 14th–15th centuries, the citadel above the Danube and the riverside royal palace were a meeting place of European rulers — the beating heart of medieval Hungary.
