The purpose of theevent is to provide the principal annual focus for practitioners of DigitalHumanities in Europe to network and discuss common challenges andopportunities.
Participantsmay contribute directly to EADH Day agenda in two ways:
- Through a 5 minute lightning talk presenting either recent research developments or key topics of interest to the digital humanities community (e.g. ‘The potential of Linked Data for annotating medieval music scores’). Participants wishing to present lightning talks should provide a two-page abstract of the presentation in English which will be made available online prior to the event.
- Through the proposition of a challenge for participants to address during the event related to the themes of:
collaborating across borders
collaborating across languages
collaborating across disciplines
collaborating across curricula
Challenges should take the form of an open question (e.g. ‘Does DH have an impact on minority languages? How can it strengthen their use and support research on them?’), with one or two paragraphs of text justifying its significance.
Submissionsshould be sent via this web by May 15th and lightning talks and challengeswill selected by an EADH panel. Presentation of a lightning talk or challengeis not a requirement and anyone may register to attend the event via the www.hdh2015.linhd.es website.
You canfind the call for participation and all the information concerning registrationand venue at HDH conference website: http://hdh2015.linhd.es/eadh-day-2015/

Digital Humanities Hackathon on Text Re-Use: ‘Don’t leave your data
problems at home!’
27-30 July, 2015
Hosted by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH),
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany
Organised by: Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and Maria Moritz
The Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities will host a Hackathon
targeted at students and researchers with a humanities background who
wish to improve their computer skills by working with their own
data-set. Rather than teaching everything there is to know about
algorithms, the Hackathon will assist participants with their specific
data-related problem, so that they can take away the knowledge needed to
tackle the issue(s) at hand. The focus of this Hackathon is automatic
text re-use detection and aims at engaging participants in intensive
collaboration. Participants will be introduced to technologies
representing the state of the art in the field and shown the potential
of text re-use detection. Participants will also be able to equip
themselves with the necessary knowledge to make sense of the output
generated by algorithms detecting text re-use, and will gain an
understanding of which algorithms best fit certain types of textual
data. Finally, participants will be introduced to some text re-use
visualisations.
Application deadline: 15 May 2015

Dear Digital Humanists,
It is a pleasure for us to announce that the DayofDH 2015 website has just been opened! we invite you to visit it at http://dayofdh2015.uned.es, to join our community and to spread this message across mailing lists, social networks and other channels in order to reach the maximum number of Digital Humanists! Our purpose is to answer the question: What do digital humanists do? and see which the panorama in 2015 is. The “Day” or official closing date to add content to the website and blogs is May 19th.
This year we offer two novelties: DayofDH is hosted for the first time outside North America, in Madrid by LINHD (Digital Humanities Innovation Lab @UNED), and, for that reason, we have tried to organize a “bilingual” DayofDH and to offer both an English and a Spanish version of the contents of our website. We encourage you to translate your posts and to help others translating!
Also, parallel activities will be developed in the different countries to “celebrate” the Day. Editathons, thatcamps and crowdsourcing events will be planned and announced via this web!And last but not least…ENJOY THE DAY!!!

Summer Course "Incunabula: from Gutenberg's Invention to the Digital Revolution"
Médiathèque d'Orléans (France) — Tuesday 7th to Saturday 12th July 2015
Full course programme and online application form:
http://www.bvh.univ-tours.fr/criico-ecole-d-ete_eng.asp
Application deadline: 30th April 2015
Published before 1501, the first printed editions, known as incunabula, first captured the interest of booklovers, researchers, and librarians three centuries ago. Today, knowledge of the output from these first fifty years is more widespread as a result of national and international bibliographical research. An inventory of some 30,000 incunabular books has been compiled, representing around fifty million copies that circulated over a period of roughly fifty years. This summer school aims to increase the participants' awareness of the issues surrounding the description, cataloguing and digitisation of incunabula. It is intended to highlight the interest of a scientific approach, for example by focussing on the conditions in which they were produced and on their content, as well as by reconstructing their journey to the present day through the study of their bindings and marks of origin.
Target Audience
* Students : any French or international student who will hold a Master’s degree (minimum) by the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic year, or who can demonstrate similar research experience
* Specialist librarians : this training course can be included in the training programme of the institution or the organisation with which you are affiliated
Prerequisites
* Basic knowledge of Latin recommended. Course given in French.
* Please bring a laptop computer.
* Active participation : each participant will present his or her research and its context on the Tuesday afternoon with a poster as a visual aid, to be prepared in advance (minimum A3 size recommended, or a montage on a larger sheet). Notice boards will be available for participants.
Application Procedure
* Online application form
* Application deadline: 30th April 2015
* Selected participants will be contacted by email no later than 15th May 2015
