About CRETA
Association
On 23.10.2020 CRETA was founded as an association (“Verein” according to German law). This is a recognition of the fact that CRETA activities are no longer limited to Stuttgart. The existing network of scientists, who are connected in a multitude of joint activities, will thus get a long-term institutional roof, which is not bound to any specific location.
The activities of the association include joint publications, workshops and tutorials, coaching and annual workshops. Further planned activities will be announced and documented on this website.

History
CRETA was established in 2015 at the University of Stuttgart as an eHumanities center. In two phases (01UG1601 and 01UG1901), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), we were able to establish a basic stock of methods and a network of scientists, which are now in the association.
