The Summer School, which aims at integrating Digital Humanities and 
Language Resources, 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.

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 hardand soft sciencesand 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. The *workshop 
programme* is composed of the following thematic strands:
