11 Sep '23

Join us on Zoom! Our Open Space Day as part of the Digital Academy 2023: “From Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data” - 28 September, 2023. The Digital Academy once again invites you to a vital exchange on data-based research and digital methods. This year, we will focus on an issue that affects the Digital Humanities on all levels: uncertainty. In this context, uncertainty is not understood as something deficient that inevitably makes data-based research within the digital humanities blurry. Instead, uncertainty underscores contingent opportunities to productively explore and develop strategies of dealing with digital research data. Three experts will report on their research projects and share their views on the topic of uncertainty in data-driven research. In an interview format, they will elaborate on topics spanning from modeling digital corpora and scholarly/scientific concepts, questions of accessing digital data in born-digital archives, to strategies of capturing uncertainty in scholarly editions. After each interview, there will be an open discussion with the Zoom audience. Program of the Open Space Day: 28 September, 2023; all times in CEST 10.00 -10.15 am: Welcome 10.15 -11.45 am: Talking to an expert & discussion I: Michael Piotrowski (Department of Language and Information Sciences, Université de Lausanne) 11.45 am - 12.45 pm: Lunch break 12.45-2.15 pm: Talking to an expert & discussion II: Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London) 2.15-2:30 pm: Coffee break 2.30-4.00 pm: Talking to an expert & discussion III: Susan Schreibman (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University) The Zoom link is available on our website: <https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/geschichtswissenschaft/abteilung/a…> https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/geschichtswissenschaft/abteilung/a… We look forward to the exchange!

CfP: Digital History Switzerland 2024
by Moritz Twente 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Dear members of Eadh-topics, I am happy to share a Call for Contributions for the conference ‹Digital History Switzerland 2024› that will take place in Basel, September 12–13, 2024. We invite scholars, researchers and professionals of all levels of experience from Switzerland and beyond to submit papers on the DHCH24 conference theme: ‹Historical Research, Digital Literacy and Algorithmic Criticism›. We are particularly interested in papers that address ongoing research projects, innovative research methods, the use of software in historical research, data analysis, and digital tools. The Call for Contributions<https://bit.ly/dhch24_cfc> is open until December 1, 2023. Please visit our website for latest news and updates and to submit your abstract: https://bit.ly/dhch24 We are looking forward to your contributions! ——————— Call for Contributions Over the past few decades, history has gradually evolved into a discipline that is inconceivable without digital tools. Research rarely begins with manual browsing in archives, but rather on the Internet. Extending the legacy of quantitative history pioneered by the Annales School, quantitative methods such as distant reading complement established methods such as close reading and discourse analysis, and are becoming increasingly important as digital collections grow. AI systems like ChatGPT create new opportunities and challenges regarding text production and source analysis. Digital literacy and algorithmic criticism are one way of responding to this shift. Both students and researchers need to be trained and sensitized to the new demands and possibilities of digital research practice. Digital tools and methods are being integrated into history education to provide students with a solid foundation for their future research activities. Research collaborations need to be rethought under the conditions of digitization, etc. Within this general context, a lot of questions need urgently to be discussed. What are the basic elements of data literacy which every historian should know about? What is algorithmic criticism and how can it be practiced in our every-day research routines? How do we manage the data we produce during the research process? Which criteria (if any) should we use to choose a software for a specific task? Where to find help when faced with a methodological or a computer problem – or a combination of both? How to set up interdisciplinary collaborations? How do we handle technologies that some of their inventors construct as ‹black boxes›? How can we deal with the rapidly increasing demand for very different resources (e.g. technical knowledge, computing power, money)? etc. The conference provides a platform for scholars, researchers and professionals of all ages and levels of experience to discuss these challenges, exchange experiences, share best practices, and discuss forward-looking approaches to historical research in the digital age. It aims to promote digital literacy, raise awareness of the use of algorithms and AI systems, develop strategies for dealing with digital sources, encourage shared formats and methodologies, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and best practices for collaborative historical research. The conference will also showcase projects and research in the field of digital history. It is planned that a selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published in a peer-reviewed open access publication. This is the first in a series of conferences that should take place every two years at a different Swiss university. Call for Papers Papers should provide insightful analysis, provoke thoughtful discussion, and contribute to the understanding and advancement of digital literacy and algorithmic criticism in historical research. This is an excellent opportunity to share your work with a diverse audience, receive valuable feedback, contribute to the evolving discourse in the field of digital history, and build community. Call for Posters In addition to paper presentations, we also invite submissions for poster presentations. Posters provide a unique platform for presenting ongoing research projects, research methods, software, data, and tools in a visually appealing format. Poster presentations are an excellent way to showcase your work, stimulate discussion, and interact with conference attendees in a more informal setting. We encourage innovative, visually appealing posters that effectively communicate your research and its relevance to the conference theme. Submission Guidelines Submission guidelines are provided on our website to ensure that your submission is properly formatted and submitted: bit.ly/dhch24_guidelines<https://bit.ly/dhch24_guidelines> Best regards, Moritz Twente Universität Basel Departement Geschichte digital-history-2024(a)unibas.ch

What metadata do literary studies need?
by jose.calvo 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

The NFDI consortium Text+, the DFG priority program Computational Literary Studies, and the EU project CLS-Infra have jointly created a survey on criteria for the creation of literary text corpora or collections. It only takes about 10 minutes to answer! https://survey.academiccloud.de/index.php/916873?lang=en The aim of this survey is to ask all researchers who create (digital) literary corpora or collections what information they need and consider for compilation. Currently, catalogs from libraries, archives, and digital platforms do not yet meet researchers' criteria because of different priorities regarding metadata. We want to change this and therefore ask the researchers themselves, for example, whether they are only looking for novels by 19th century French women authors for their corpus or rather what other information besides genre, gender and time period might be important. Of course, this does not mean that these metadata can be added right after the survey, but prioritization helps us to improve research infrastructures and the supply of digital corpora plus metadata. Take the first step with us and participate in the survey: https://survey.academiccloud.de/index.php/916873?lang=en Dr. José Calvo Tello Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen D-37073 Göttingen Digital Humanities Abteilung: Forschung und Entwicklung Papendiek 14 (Historisches Gebäude, Raum 2.407) Fachreferent für Romanistik, Kunstgeschichte und Digital Humanities Platz der Göttinger Sieben 1 (Zentralbibliothek, Raum 0.47) calvotello(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de [1] Links: ------ [1] http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/

Registration Open - Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives Event Series, 25 - 29 September
by Yang Yuchen 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

[Apologies for cross-posting] Dear All, We are delighted to extend an invitation to you on behalf of the consortium of the Swiss National Science Foundation Sinergia Project, "Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives"<https://www.futurecinema.live/>. Please Join us at EPFL, Switzerland, for a week-long series of thoughtfully curated events 25th - 29th of September that focus on exploring the exciting intersection of machine learning, visual analytics, digital museology, and archival science. With a 2-day PhD workshop, a half-day seminar, and a 2-day international symposium, this gathering brings together researchers and practitioners to address the current challenges in providing public access to the significant audiovisual archives of the 20th and 21st centuries: ----------------- PhD workshop Beyond Search: Opening Up Audiovisual Content for Humanities Studies <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/workshop-beyond-search-opening-up-audiovisu…>25-26 September 2023 (2 ECTS provided by EPFL, travel subsidy available) In recent years, audiovisual content, with its growing accessibility, rich hidden meanings, and complexity in modality, became a new frontier for research in humanities and computational domains. The quest for properly and meaningfully opening up the variety of information (such as historical, social, affective, and aesthetic) available in the ever-increasing audiovisual materials requires a collective effort from both sides to co-create not only new methods but also new research questions. This 2-day workshop, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of processing and utilising audiovisual data, provides an entry point and a test field for researchers working on digital humanities, audiovisual content understanding, and HCI to formulate and validate new ideas. Lecturers: Prof. Marina Hassapopoulou, New York University Ingrid Mason, National Film and Sound Archive of Australia Prof. Matthias Grotkopp, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Mark Williams & Dr John P. Bell, Dartmouth College Dr Luca Rossetto, University of Zurich To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to apply, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/workshop-beyond-search-opening-up-audiovisual-content-for-humanities-studies-25-26-september-2023/ ----------------- Mini Seminar Constellations of Images: 'The Grande Conversion' in Cultural Archives <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/constellations-of-images-the-grande-convers…>27 September 2023 The digital era has witnessed a significant transformation in the accessibility and availability of cultural content in various formats, encompassing a wide range of art forms such as visual arts, cinema, literature, music, photography, and architecture. This shift from analogue to digital, referred to as the "grande conversion" by Milad Doueihi, continues to have a profound impact on our engagement with these creative expressions. Spinning off the new book Les Devenirs numériques des patrimoines (The Digital Futures of Heritage)<http://www.editions-msh.fr/livre/?GCOI=27351100825610>, this event carefully curated a series of talks drawing on a variety of disciplinary perspectives and examples, showcasing the progress and advantages of working with the ever-changing technologies. Speakers: Prof. Jeffrey Shaw, Hong Kong Baptist University Prof. Clarisse Bardiot, Rennes 2 University Prof. Daniel Foliard, Université Paris Cité Prof. Martine Beugnet, Université Paris Cité Lily Hibberd, Interdisciplinary Artist Prof. Sarah Kenderdine, EPFL Dr Susan Hazan, Digital Heritage, Israel To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to register, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/constellations-of-images-the-grande-conversion-in-large-audiovisual-archives/ ----------------- Symposium New Paradigms for Accessing and Curating Audiovisual Collections <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/events/new-paradigms-audiovisual-2023/>28-29 September 2023 In the context of the transformation, accessibility and curation of datafied content require rethinking to unlock meaningfully the complexity and large volume of audiovisual collections. For instance, standard web interfaces often ignore the potential of exploration and features like visual, auditory, and haptic, which are not easily accessible with traditional metadata. Scoping out an upgrade for accessing audiovisual archives can be facilitated via innovative curatorial access and informatics models that can activate new modes of engagement, interaction, and meaning-making. While pushing the boundaries for accessibility, the new interfaces, experiences, and curatorial models also raise technological and conceptual questions about every corner of the archival practice, especially on the preservation end, in the age of data. Addressing these challenges, this symposium is stimulated by a growing need for access models for audiovisual collections beyond traditional strategies and the need to reconceptualize curatorial and presentational frameworks and models. It aims to explore the intersection of cutting-edge computational methods and audiovisual archiving through three themed sessions, each designed to cover a specific and unique angle: * A Blurry Boundary: From Archive to Data * A New Way of Seeing: Analytics and Curation * In Progress and Practice: An Institutional Zoom-in Bring together more than 20 world-leading scholars in various fields (such as media and cultural studies, digital humanities, archival science, informatics and human-computer interaction), archivists and curators from heritage institutions, as well as domain experts and artists, this symposium will serve as a holistic venue to explore and critically reflect on the affordances and limitations of cutting-edge computational methods and tools for preserving, accessing and utilizing audiovisual materials and to push forward a digital and data-driven mindset for the future of audiovisual collections. To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to register, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/events/new-paradigms-audiovisual-2023/ ----------------- Visit the Pioneering Laboratory for Experimental Museology <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/>During all three events Each event invites participants to embark on a captivating journey through the cutting-edge Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+), where immersive visualisation, cultural data, and state-of-the-art technologies converge. Join our guided tour to explore unique visualisation systems, powerful sonic architectures, and groundbreaking techniques like motion capture and photogrammetry. Witness the transformation of tangible and intangible heritage into stunning ultra-high-resolution experiences. This exclusive opportunity unveils 20 years of research from pioneering laboratories in Sydney and Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into the future of post-cinematic multisensory engagement. As a part of the Sinergia Project: Narratives from the long tail, this guided tour will also showcase the latest interactive and embodied exploration interfaces developed for our content partners, such as the Eye Filmmuseum and the Radio Télévision Suisse. ----------------- Special Film Screening Film, the Living Record of Our Memory <https://filmthelivingrecordofourmemory.com/index.php>28 September 2023, during the symposium Why are we still able to watch moving images captured over 125 years ago? As we move ever further into the digital age, our audiovisual heritage seems to be taken increasingly for granted. However, much of our filmed history and cinema has already been lost forever. On the night of the 28th, we arranged a special screening of the latest documentary Film, the Living Record of Our Memory<https://filmthelivingrecordofourmemory.com/index.php>, where film archivists, curators, technicians and filmmakers from around the world explain what film preservation is and why it is needed. This documentary puts the focus on our protagonists are custodians of film whose work behind the scenes safeguards the survival of motion pictures. It is a task they undertake based on their closely held belief in the artistic and cultural value of the moving image, in tune with a shared mantra that a film might one day transform someone's life. This documentary is a homage to them all and sheds some light on their critical undertaking. ----------------- If you cannot make it in person, we will also provide streaming services for those participating online. Please use the respective link to register your online participation, and details will be sent shortly before the event.

CfP on Digital Hermeneutics in Frankfurt/Main, Germany
by Möbus, Dennis 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Dear Members of the EADH-Mailingslist, we are pleased to announce our second international conference on Digital Hermeneutics, organized by the research cluster digital_culture at the FernUniversität in Hagen: Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, and Curation The conference will take place at our side-campus in Frankfurt/Main on November 23/24. Please find the call below and attached a layout-version. Best regards, Dennis Möbus Call for Papers Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, and Curation Annual Conference of the Research Cluster digital_culture at the FernUniversität in Hagen 23./24. November 2023, Frankfurt am Main Digitization has reached almost all areas of science and scholarship. And even in the cultural sciences and humanities, computers, databases and digital tools are increasingly important. Last year's annual conference "Digital Hermeneutics: Machines, Procedures, Meaning<https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/digitale-hermeneutik/>" of the research cluster digital_culture<https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/forschung/schwerpunkte/digitale-kultur/index.s…> dealt with the theoretical and conceptual challenges inherent in hermeneutic methods, tools, and applications. The results of the conference supported understanding and meaning, when algorithms, programs, machines, and other technical procedures contribute to it[1]. Following up on these initial theoretical and conceptual results, we now want to address more technical aspects of methods, technologies, tools, and applications supporting Digital Hermeneutics under the title "Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, Curation" and take a look at digitally supported hermeneutic research processes and anticipate the future of digitized working practices in the cultural sciences and humanities. Without such digital support systems, it will no longer be possible to index, find, annotate, and curate the ever-growing number of digitally available resources for research data. Digital systems are also already in use for analyzing, indexing, enriching, and annotating multimedia data. But what about systems that support the analysis, annotation, and interpretation of digital research data - thus: representation of hermeneutic methods - and their results as well as supporting machine learning, reasoning, and finally automating the documentation of annotation, interpretation, and understanding? TOPICS OF INTEREST In an exchange between humanities scholars and computer scientists, we want to explore the possibilities and limits of the vision of digitally supported hermeneutics. The following questions should be understood as suggestions for contributions: · Digitization processes bear the risk of information loss or structural shifts and biases. How can these risks be dealt with? · The transformation of sources to data involves coding and enables the enrichment with information. How does one deal with the loss of the original source characteristics? Do standardizations promote a focus on unifying features of different sources or can nuances and deviations also be mapped? · Do the questions and epistemological interests of humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences change the availability, quality, and quantity of sources in the form of data? · How can algorithms and tools support, possibly even expand, research questions and epistemological interests in the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences? · Can computer science also benefit from the discussion of methods in the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies? The support of hermeneutic research processes by computer science can cover MultiMedia Indexing and Retrieval, Natural Language Processing (e.g. Named Entity Recognition), Knowledge Representation, Argumentation Mining, Machine Learning, Reliability, Explainability and Reproducibility. For the workshop, we are looking for contributions from both realms - computer science and humanities, also preferably in interdisciplinary tandem. Reports on current developments of digital support systems, experiences in dealing with such systems, as well as the problematization of technical and methodological challenges for the humanities and computer science are desired. Workshop Details The workshop will be held over two days covering the following panels: 23.11.2023 (12:00 - 21:00): Panel 1: "From Source to Data" Panel 2: "From Data to Scientific Questions for Digital Hermeneutics" Panel 3: "From Data to Scientific Methods for Digital Hermeneutics" Keynotes 24.11.2023 (9:00 - 13:30): Panel 4: "Sustainable Data Management for Digital Hermeneutics" Panel 5: "Costs and Benefits of Digital Hermeneutics" Scientific and Organizational Committee: Valentina Bachi, Photoconsortium Swati Chandna, SRH Univ. of Heidelberg Felix Engel, TIB - German National Library Antonella Fresa, Promoter S.r.l.

Deadline extension: Digital Academy 2023 - From Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data [online event]
by Neubert, Anna Maria 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Digital Academy 2023 - From Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data (Digital History, Bielefeld University) Dear colleagues, dear Digital Humanities enthusiasts, the Digital Academy once again invites you to a vital exchange on data-based research and digital methods. This year, we will particularly focus on an issue that affects the Digital Humanities on all levels: uncertainty. With her concept of “capta,” Johanna Drucker pointed out that when researchers collect and model data, they use criteria that are not objectively given. Thus, there always is a certain perspective that is forced onto our data sets, which highly influences the possibilities of analysing data. In order to be able to exploit data sets to their full potential, it is crucial for researchers to reflect on this perspectivity. Uncertainty plays a role on various levels: How can we interpret unclear data within texts, for example ambiguous designations of people or places? In which formats are data sets available, and how does this affect working with different analysing tools? The Digital Academy 2023 will touch upon these questions and many more. In this context, uncertainty is not supposed to be framed as something deficient that inevitably blurs data-based research within the Digital Humanities. The aim instead is to explore and develop strategies that help dealing with digital research data. We will discuss these strategies from 25th to 28th September 2023 within an online format. 1. Open Space Day: Experts will report on their research projects and subsequently discuss aspects of their work with the audience. This part of the program is open to all who are interested. 2. Three-day workshop: The participants will get the opportunity to present and discuss their strategies for dealing with uncertainty within their own research projects. This workshop particularly aims at advanced Masters students, PhD students, and postdocs. Participation is free of charge for both parts of the program. Call for Participation (Three-Day Workshop) 1 Your Contributions Your contributions (20 mins. presentation, 10 mins. discussion) may deal with all kinds of possible interpretations of uncertainty with regards to digital data. We would like you to present strategies you have been using in order to deal with uncertainty in your own projects. Besides the questions already mentioned above, other possible questions could be: * How do we create relations within databases, in order to answer particular research questions? * Which types of visualisations are particularly suitable for different research projects? * How can we combine qualitative research and hermeneutic methods? * Which theories seem to be useful in these contexts? 2 Submissions & Blog Articles Please submit the following documents to <mailto:digital-academy at uni-bielefeld.de> digital-academy at uni-bielefeld.de: 1. Abstract of your contribution (500-750 words excl. bibliography; English or German). 2. A short CV. Based on your abstract and the discussion following your contribution during the workshop, we would like to invite you to write a blog post that will be published on the blog of Digital History@UniBielfeld. This way, we can make our results available to a broader public. 3 Deadline The extended deadline for submitting contributions is 10 July 2023 (23:59, MESZ). We will inform about possibilities of participation by July, 28. Further details about the programme will be published in the course of the summer. We welcome submissions in German or English. The programme of the Digital Academy 2023 is bilingual (the Open Space day will be in English only). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the following email address: digital-academy(a)uni-bielefeld.de<mailto:[email protected]>. Digital Academy 2023 website: https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/geschichtswissenschaft/abteilung/a…. We look forward to a collaborative exchange!

Final Call for Papers - Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference, 7-9 February 2024, Amsterdam, Netherlands
by marijn Koolen 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference Final Call For Papers Huygens Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Amsterdam, 7-9 February 2024 Formulaic language is a phenomenon familiar to scholars working with a great variety of historical sources. In official documents such as charters, acts, laws, ordinances, proceedings, but also in ‘private’ texts such as letters, petitions, egodocuments, and literary texts, we find (sequences of) words that appear over and over again, often in the same position in the text, over a long period of time. Such formulaic elements seem to fulfill many different functions: they may help the reader understand the type or genre of a text, structure the text, indicate its performative character, strengthen the relationship between author and reader, or help memorizing a text, to name but a few. Given the highly formulaic character of many written sources, especially (but not only) of the premodern period, the phenomenon of formulaic language has received surprisingly little attention in historical research. It has been studied in (socio)linguistics and historical pragmatics, but few historians have engaged with this scholarship. Until recently, moreover, the potential of formulaic language for (automated) data extraction of large digitized source corpora has remained virtually unexplored. The twofold aim of this international conference is: 1. to place formulaic language on the agenda as an object of historical study (in the broadest, interdisciplinary sense of this term) 2. to explore the potential of formulaic language for the digitization and data extraction of historical sources of different types and periods. Possible questions that we would like to address in this conference include: • What is formulaic language? In which societal domains and historical sources can it be found? When and why has language been considered formulaic, and by whom? How is formulaic language defined and studied in different academic fields? How does the use of formulaic language vary across (national) linguistic traditions and across space and time? • How has formulaic language historically been understood? Which purposes has it served? How, when and where has formulaic language emerged, transferred or disappeared? How has formulaic language evolved over time, and how can change be explained? How does formulaic language in written texts relate to speech acts and ritual performances? How does it relate to text genres and genre conventions? • What are the social and political connotations and consequences of formulaic language? Who produces it, who engages with it, who knows how to use it, and who is excluded by it? How do (political, religious, legal) authorities, intermediaries, and ordinary language users employ, exploit, and interpret formulaic language? Does formulaic language facilitate or hinder the participation of subaltern groups in society? What is the relationship between formulaic language and the subsequent transitions from oral to written culture to the age of print and the digital age, or with processes of standardization, professionalization, and bureaucratization? • How can formulas be used to extract information from texts? What information do formulaic expressions convey about the subject or meaning of a text? Can they play a role in recognizing and contextualizing named entities? Can they help to link texts with other texts? • How can formulaic language be identified in text corpora and archives, including long serial publications and heterogeneous archives of diverse documents? How can formulaic expressions be categorized and how can relationships between formulas be identified? We welcome proposals for papers (c. 250 words) on these and related topics from scholars working in different fields. Proposals should be sent, together with a short bio- bibliographical statement including indication of institutional affiliation, by 15 June, to Republic_Goetgevonden(a)huygens.knaw.nl. Please give your email the title ‘Formulaic Language conference’. We will prioritize proposals that go beyond singular case studies and address questions that help us understand the phenomenon of formulaic language through comparisons across time, space, language, genre or corpus. This conference is organized in the framework of the project REPUBLIC: Resolutions Published in a Computational Environment. In this infrastructural project, (digital) historians, computer scientists, data experts and developers collaborate with the aim of providing digital access to the resolutions (decisions) of the Dutch States General (1576-1796). Organisers: Rik Hoekstra Marijn Koolen Joris Oddens Huygens Institute for the History and Culture of the Netherlands

Please circulate Apologies for cross posting The CLS INFRA Transnational Access Fellowship Programme (TNA) is about to close its fourth round of calls for fellowship applications. If you intend to submit a fellowship application, do so before 23:59 CEST 30 May. The CLS INFRA Fellowship Programme provides access to a wide range of data, tools and knowledge. Scholars from literary studies or with an interest in Computational Literary Studies methods are invited to apply for a fellowship grant in one of our infrastructure providers. Successful applicants will not only obtain free-of-charge physical access to the infrastructure, but in the context of the overall project they will become part of the larger CLS community. By responding to one of our calls, applicants may have the opportunity to: * Interact with experts; * Receive advice on ongoing projects; * Learn how to use the ecosystem of data, tools and standards; * Assemble new literary corpora; * Profit from hands-on training and support. * Fellowships grants will cover housing and subsistence costs as well as travel to and from the host institution. The CLS INFRA Fellowships are funded by the European Union under the rules of transnational access. Calls for fellowship grants are launched twice a year for a total of six calls. Scholars from the European Union and beyond are eligible to apply. CLS INFRA fellowship grants will typically cover travel and subsistence costs. Successful applicants are expected to join the chosen infrastructure for a period of 4 to 12 weeks. However, shorter residencies will be also taken into consideration.
