[SISEA] Introduction: Seth Shostak — Introduction to Groningen

Introductory Statement

An introduction to the city of Groningen, the Kapteyn Institute of the University of Groningen, the Academy Minerva and SCAN, the National Institute for Computer Animation, main organiser of SISEA.

Since it was unsure whether the SISEA could afford to bring Shostak over from the USA, he made a presentation on video. Actually, he made it over and served as SISEA’s ‘anchor man’ and moderator.
