Dear all,
It is a
pleasure for us to announce that the
first EADH International Day on the 8th October 2015 at UNED
(National University for Distance Education – Open University) Madrid, Spain.
The first
annual European Association for Digital Humanities Symposium (EADH Day) will be
held in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference of the Hispanic Digital Humanities Association at UNED, and hosted by LINHD in Madrid. The purpose of the
event is to provide the principal annual focus for practitioners of Digital
Humanities in Europe to network and discuss common challenges and
opportunities.
Participants
may 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.
Submissions
should be sent via this web by May 15th and lightning talks and challenges
will selected by an EADH panel. Presentation of a lightning talk or challenge
is not a requirement and anyone may register to attend the event via the www.hdh2015.linhd.es website.
Please, feel free to distribute across lists, people and collaborators.
Best regards,
Elena González-Blanco García
