  1. Sunday afternoon at the kitchen counter. Two lectures to build and one set of exercises to grade, both landing Thursday.

    Four hours. No student ever sees this part, and there is no line in my contract that describes it.

    It is just what Wednesday costs.

  2. Dear #ESWC2026 crowd, there is decent Espresso available close to the conference site. At Restaurant & Bar Levanat (5 minutes down the beach promenade) you can enjoy a decent coffee with sea view.

  3. On my way to #eswc2026 to Dubrovnik. Looking forward to meet the #semanticweb research family again! ESWC has never been to Dubrovnik before, so let the adventure begin (on Sunday).

  4. En 2025, il est toujours aussi répandu et habituel d'attendre des mois sa rémunération quand on est vacataire dans une université française.

    Plusieurs années après la circulaire de 2017 et la Loi de programmation sur la recherche de 2020 prévoyant le versement mensuel de la rémunération des vacations, il est scandaleux et honteux que cette situation soit toujours aussi répandue.

    Avant mon départ au Canada, j'avais goûté à ces difficultés - une des raisons ayant pesé dans la balance au moment de choisir l'expatriation.

  5. Completely new weather experience for Crete in June this year. After the conference is before the next conference. Bye, bye #eswc2023. It was so nice to meet dear old and new friends! Now, only 10 days to go until the Semantic Web Research Summer School! #weather #KnowledgeGraphs #semanticweb #summerschool #phd #academiclife

  6. 1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
    tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at researchgate.net/publication/3 or academia.edu/38264974
