Zusammenfassung

I met Joachim Höflich many years ago, after he looked me up by phone. After his first visit to Udine, he proposed to come to Pordenone, the seat of the University of Udine where I teach, with his most willing students, and to organise an Erasmus workshop with our respective students. Since that first workshop, many have followed, and over time the workshop on digital communication with Erfurt-Pordenone students has become a pleasant and important academic event.
