Tasting from our jug
Here you can get a taste of the variety of our projects. As you can see, these are diverse projects dealing with different content areas - heritage, science and art. Our involvement in each project is different and according to need. In some projects we were involved only in the specification phase, in some we also did the content planning and curation, and in some we managed the entire project.
You are invited to taste and enjoy.
