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.

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 Digital 
Humanities, 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.

In all this the Summer School also aims at 
confronting the so-called Gender Divide, 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 hard sciences 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 hard and soft sciences and on the 
integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering.

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.

Project presentations:

The call for the Summer School should also be 
intended as a call for 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.

Panel discussion:

The Summer School will feature a panel discussion 
devoted to the question "Humanities, Libraries 
and Computer Science - How to Manage the Synergies?"

consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer 
School in Digital Humanities “Culture &
