It is organised by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr, Institut für Romanistik, and her team, together with the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig (FDHL) (https://fdhl.info/). The application phase for a place at the Summer University began on 28 April 2022 and will end on 31 May 2022. Information on how to apply can be found here: https://esu.fdhl.info/application/. As in former years the Summer University will take place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme will consist of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. For the workshops which are being offered see https://esu.fdhl.info/workshops/ Thanks to our sponsors, *more* support for participants of the European Summer University in Digital Humanities is now available. Please note: *one can only apply for one scholarship / bursary / fellowship*. Please note, furthermore, that *each scholarship / bursary / fellowship requires the fulfillment of certain conditions*. I) Funding granted by the *German Academic Exchange Service* (DAAD) (https://www.daad.de/en/) allows us to award up to *20 scholarships to foreign alumni / alumnae of German universities*, no matter from which country they come. There is one *exception*, however: Russian alumni / alumnae who hold offices in universities cannot be granted a scholarship at the moment. *Alumni / Alumnae* are people from outside Germany who as (Erasmus) students, graduates, researchers or lecturers have received a degree at a German University or have studied, conducted research or worked at a German University *at least for three months* and who are now outside of Germany. *Ukrainians* who are not Alumni / Alumnae of German universities but have an *intimate relationship with Germany* (for example as teachers or trainers or via German - Ukrainian teacher exchange) can temporarily also apply for such a scholarship. Scholarships cover the costs of travel, accommodation (12 nights) and meals (11 days). Accommodation will be reserved by us. The scholarships do *not* cover participation fees. Scholarships are attributed only once the applicant has registered for the Summer University and paid her / his participation fees. For more information see https://esu.fdhl.info/daad/ II) Thanks to the generous support *DARIAH-EU* (https://www.dariah.eu/) grants the European Summer University in Digital Humanities, a number of tuition fellowships will be available for (doctoral) students and young scholars who are not members of Leipzig University. The fellowships cover the participation fees. Winners of such a fellowship accept the obligation of writing a report about the European Summer University and the experiences they gathered during the event, illustrating it with pictures of the event and sending it to DARIAH-EU in electronic form no later than three weeks after the end of the Summer University. The text and the pictures will be published on the DARIAH-EU website and promoted through social media channels. Here you can find reports about former editions of the European Summer University: https://www.dariah.eu/2019/09/25/reflections-from-the-european-summer-univer... and https://www.dariah.eu/2021/11/12/reflections-from-the-european-summer-univer...

The open call (in Slovenian) can be found here http://www.sdjt.si/. The deadline for applications is *May 25 2022*. IV) With the aim to facilitate the participation of (doctoral) students and young scholars of Leipzig University at the European Summer University in Digital Humanities up to 3 scholarships of 300,00 Euro each are made available. This is possible because of the support the *Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig* (FDHL) (https://fdhl.info/) grants to the summer university. For more information see https://esu.fdhl.info/fdhl/. V) The *University of Leipzig* (https://www.uni-leipzig.de/en/) through its International Centre (https://www.uni-leipzig.de/en/international/) is, at this very moment, not able to guarantee support to participants of the European Summer University as it has done in former years. There is some *hope*, however, that a) not only for applicants from Leipzig's partner university *Kiewski nazionalny uniwersitet im. Tarasa Schewtschenko* but from the *Ukraine* in general special funds might be available, b) some bursaries for applicants from the following *Eastern European partner universities* of Leipzig University might become available in July: Sofiski Uniwersitet Sw. Kliment Ochridski Uniwersytet Wrocławski Uniwersytet Jagiellonski w Krakowie Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca Univerza v Ljubljani Univerzita Karlova v Praze Interested people from the *Ukraine* and the above named *partner universities* are strongly advised to apply for support / a bursary. For more information see https://esu.fdhl.info/international-centre/ VI) People coming from EU-Partner Countries may be able to apply for an *Erasmus + scholarship* (Key Action 103) at their own university. Please get informed. VII) All interested people are strongly advised to inform themselves about support for further education, qualification, specialisation, professionalisation available at *their own universities*. At many universities such funding exists, to find out about it might, however, mean doing some serious research. Should more support become available it will announced on our website https://esu.fdhl.info/ Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask them by writing a mail to esu_ct@uni-leipzig.de With best regards, Prof. (em.)
