<ul>
<li>(3) several bursaries for participants who are not members of the
above partner universities of the University of Leipzig.
</ul>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>
In all this the Summer School also aims at confronting the so-called
<i>Gender Divide</i>, i.e. the under-representation of women in the
domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and
Europe. But, instead of strengthening the<i> hard sciences </i>as such by
following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called
STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and
importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer School relies
on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their
wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the
further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders
between <i>hard</i> and <i>soft sciences</i> and on the integration of
Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering.<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. <br><br>

project presentation. We expect above all the young scholars who
participate in the Summer School to present their projects. Next to
projects of the participants of the Summer School advanced institutional
and / or funded projects by scholars from the Humanities, Computer
Science and Engineering will be presented.<br><br>
