In-Person, Fee-Based Summer Workshops

1. Digital Humanities Summer Institute (University of Victoria, Canada)

Description: The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual digital scholarship training institute that is organized for its community by the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab. Every summer, DHSI brings together faculty, staff, and students from the arts, humanities, library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. DHSI provides a community-based environment for discussing and learning about new technologies and how they influence teaching, research, creation, and preservation in different disciplines. Around 800-900 participants attend this time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, where participants share ideas and methods as well as develop expertise in advanced technologies.

2. Digital Humanities @ Oxford Summer School (Oxford University)

Description: This summer school is part of the Digital Scholarship at Oxford (DiSc) initiative to explore, enhance, and enable work in this field.  They define their work as follows: “we are building a team of specialist research software engineers, working with other teams from around the University, providing networking and knowledge exchange events, supporting researchers in developing funding proposals, and providing funding for demonstrators and prototypes to help this process. Through these, we are leading national and international conversations, and establishing agile infrastructures for our researchers to build upon. We are pleased to be collaborating with our colleagues across the Digital Scholarship landscape: DiSc’s mission in transforming Digital Scholarship sits in the broader digital transformation programme across the institution, embracing culture and processes as well as the underpinning technologies.”

3. European Summer University on Digital Humanities (Sponsored by DARIAH-EU)

Description: The European Summer University is directed at an international audience and offers a range of parallel weeklong workshops on important areas of Digital Humanities to students in their final years, (post)graduates, doctoral students, postdocs, teachers, librarians and technical assistants from all over Europe and beyond, who are or wish to be involved in the theoretical, experimental or practical application of computational methods in the various areas of the Humanities, in libraries and archives. It aims to bring together up to 60 (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and 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 co-operations.
