The workshop "Overcoming the Gap: Eastern Perspectives on EHRI" will offer an overview on EHRI's work and progress, featuring speakers from key areas of the collaboration's development. Besides, the workshop focuses on the Eastern expansion of EHRI, involving colleagues representing leading institutions in the field from Slovakia, Romania and Hungary.

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) works to integrate the collections of various Holocaust institutions across Europe into an accessible online portal. EHRI also encourages collaboration in research across various fields of interest. In March 2015, EHRI will introduce its main achievement: an online portal that gives access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust.
