Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2025 edition of the Computational Humanities Research Conference (CHR 2025), which will take place on December 9–12, 2025, at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at the University of Luxembourg.

In recent years, the arts and humanities have seen a significant increase in the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches. This kind of research is distinguished by its reliance on formal methods and the development of explicit, computational models—ranging from quantitative and statistical techniques to broader computational methods for processing and analyzing data, as well as theoretical reflections on these approaches.

Despite the growing prominence of this field, many scholars still struggle to find suitable venues where they can present and publish computational work while maintaining a strong connection to traditional humanities inquiry. This is precisely the gap that the CHR conference seeks to address.

More specifically, the conference has two key goals:

1. Building an inclusive community of researchers who apply computational and quantitative methods to humanities data in all its forms. We see this community as complementary to the broader digital humanities landscape and actively encourage participation from scholars with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities—including those from underrepresented groups, different academic paths, and anyone bringing fresh perspectives to computational humanities.
2. Promoting good research practices by sharing "research stories." This includes fostering transparency and reproducibility through open code and data, supporting pre-registered research designs to clarify theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and rethinking peer review processes to better accommodate interdisciplinary work that blends computational methods with humanities-driven questions.

The deadline for full paper submissions is July 18, 2025. For further details, please consult the full Call for Papers here.

If you have any questions, special requirements, or concerns, feel free to reach out to the organizers at pc@computational-humanities-research.org or engage with us on the Discourse forum.

Kind regards,
