We are happy to announce that the application for the summer
school is still running and that there are a few places left in
some of the workshops. <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 moz-do-not-send="true"

<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>

information as soon as it becomes available.<br>
