Organised by the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia, the third European Encyclopedia Conference was held in Oslo on 15–16 May, bringing together editors and publishers from eleven countries. The Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography was represented by its director general, Bruno Kragić, and assistant director for research and inter-institutional cooperation, Nataša Jermen.

The first European Encyclopedia Conference was held in Brussels in 2019, organised by the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia, the European Parliamentary Research Service, and the Mission of Norway to the European Union, while the second was held in 2022 in Zagreb, organised by the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography.

The workshop ‘Basis of Fact-checking’ was held as part of the international scientific conference ‘Dubrovnik Media Days’ (29–30 September 2023), organised by the University of Dubrovnik and the Agency for Electronic Media. Among the participants were members of the CroFacta project: its leader Ankica Šunjić Matković and coordinators Josip Mihaljević and Julija Barunčić Pletikosić. The presenters at the workshop were prominent international experts in the field of data verification, Tommaso Canetta, Vincent Couronne, and Denis Teysossou.

On 25–26 September, an international symposium on biography and its role and future in the digital world, ‘There’s History in All Men’s Lives’, was held in the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) in Ljubljana.

The Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography was represented by Dr Filip Hameršak, Director of the Institute, and Dr Nataša Jermen, Assistant Director for Research and Inter-Institutional Cooperation.

Members of the Latvian National Encyclopedia’s editorial board paid a study visit to the Institute of Lexicography on 5 and 6 September. The visit was organised as part of the Erasmus+ programme, the largest European Union programme for education, training, youth, and sport.

The Latvian National Encyclopedia, whose chief editor is Valters Ščerbinskis, is a general online encyclopedia that currently contains around 4000 articles. The National Encyclopedia’s editorial board was founded in 2015 within the framework of the National Library of Latvia.

The aim of this study visit was to acquaint Latvian encyclopedists with the work of the Institute of Lexicography, primarily the Croatian Encyclopedia, one of the Institute’s fundamental editions.
