*"Digital Humanities & Language Resources" - Joint "Culture & 
Technology" and CLARIN-D European Summer School 2014 
**http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/*

We are happy to announce that the phase of application for a place at 
the Joint "Culture & Technology" and CLARIN-D European Summer School 
2014**"Digital Humanities & Language Resources" has been opened.

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.

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 /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.

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 thematic strands:

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.

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.

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