</a>We are happy to announce that the phase of application for a place at
the European Summer School in Digital Humanities "Culture &
Technology” has now started.<br><br>
The Summer School is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and
beyond. The Summer School wants to bring together (doctoral) students,
young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library
Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an
interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual
and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future
project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of
disciplines, countries and cultures.<br><br>
The Summer School aims to provide a stimulating environment for
discussing, learning and advancing knowledge and skills in the methods
and technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and
determine more and more the work done in the Arts and Humanities, in
libraries, archives, and similar fields. The Summer School seeks to
integrate these activities into the broader context of the <i>Digital
Humanities</i>, where questions about the consequences and implications
of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural
artefacts of all kinds are asked. It further aims to provide insights
into the complexity of humanistic data and the challenges the Humanities
present for computer science and engineering and their further
development. <br><br>
The Summer School takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive
programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project
presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The workshop
programme is composed of the following 7 thematic strands:
<ul>
<li>Computing Methods applied to DH: TEI-XML Markup and CSS/XSLT
Rendering
<li>Query in Text Corpora
<li>Stylometry: Computer-Assisted Analysis of Literary Texts
<li>Editing in the Digital Age: From Script, to Print, to Digital Page
<li>Art History: Research and Teaching going Digital
<li>Interdisciplinary approaches to the study of multimodal human-human /
human-machine communication / interaction
<li>Large Project Planning, Funding, and Management
</ul>Each workshop consists of a total of 15 sessions or 30 week-hours.
The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 12. <br><br>
Information on how to apply for a place in one of the workshops can be
found at:
<a href="http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/" eudora="autourl">

Preference will be given to young scholars of the Humanities who are
planning, or are already involved with, a technology-based research
project and who submit a qualified project description. Young scholars of
Engineering and Computer Sciences are expected to describe their
specialities and interests in such a way that also non-specialists can
follow, and to support with good arguments what they hope to learn from
the summer school.<br><br>
Applications are considered on a rolling basis. The selection of
participants is made by the Scientific Committee together with the
experts who lead the workshops. <br><br>
