Building on this success, the CrossAsia team and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) went on to co-host the international conference "Charting the European D-SEA: Digital Scholarship in East Asian Studies" in Berlin from 8-12 July 2024, bringing together around 120 participants from 19 countries and regions (read more). In light of this strong engagement and our ongoing commitment to digital scholarship, we are pleased to relaunch the Lunchtalks as an online forum where scholars can share project updates, present new tools and methods, offer methodological insights, and showcase innovative research in Digital Asian Studies. Between February and June 2026, the DH Lunchtalks will take place monthly. While the 2023-2024 season focused primarily on training in digital tools and platforms, the upcoming series will feature 60-minute lunchtime talks (including Q&A) by distinguished speakers presenting their latest digital research projects. The currently confirmed programme is as follows: February 3 Prof. Michael Yan Hon CHUNG (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) AI for Endangered Documentary Archives: Manchu OCR March 24 Dr. Franz Xaver Erhard (Leipzig University) Getting the Lines Right: Layout Analysis as the Critical First Step for Tibetan Newspaper HTR April 21 Prof. ZHAN Beibei (Hunan University) Digital Analysis for Confucian Academies in East Asia May 21 Dr. CHEN Shih-Pei (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science) & Prof. Mariana Favila-Vázquez (CIESAS-Unidad Ciudad de México) Treating a Genre as a Knowledge System: A Digital Research Methodology for Studying Chinese Local Gazetteers June (TBC) Dr. CHOI Donghyeok (Hong Kong Baptist University) AI Methods to Construct and Analyze Large-Scale Historical Databases May or June (TBC) Dr. Rafał Jan Felbur (Heidelberg University) Born-digital Dictionary of Early Chinese Buddhist Translations All DH Lunchtalks will take place from 12:30 to 13:30 (Central European Time) and will be held online via Webex. Further details for each session, including abstracts and access links, will be announced in advance on the CrossAsia blog.
