We are happy to announce that not only the <a
href="http://etcl.uvic.ca/" target="_blank">Electronic Textual
Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria (etcl)</a> and the <a
href="https://www.daad.de/en/" target="_blank">German Accademic
Exchange Service (DAAD) </a> offer generous support to
participants of the Joint "Culture & Technology" and CLARIN-D
European Summer School 2014<strong> </strong>"Digital Humanities
& Language Resources", which aims at integrating Digital
Humanities and Language Resources, but also the <a
href="http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/" target="_blank">University
of Leipzig</a> , which through its <a
href="http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/university/uni-international/international-centre.html"
target="_blank">International Centre</a> now makes available
bursaries for members of its <b>Eastern European partner
universities</b> as well as for members of its <b>non-European
partner universities</b> (please see: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/365">http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/365</a>).<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, Social 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 museums, in the Language
Industries, 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 class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag"></span>Gender
Divide<span class="moz-txt-tag"></span></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 class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag"></span>hard<span class="moz-txt-tag"></span></i>
and <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag"></span>soft
sciences<span class="moz-txt-tag"></span></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. The <b>workshop
programme</b> is composed of the following thematic strands:

Each workshop consists of a total of 16 sessions or 32 week-hours.
The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. <br>
<br>
<b>Lectures </b>will focus among others on digital art history and
underresourced languages.<br>
<br>
Information on how to apply for a place in one or two workshops can
be found at: <a href="http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/"

<br>
<br>
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>
Participation fees are more or less the same as last year.<br>
