Dear all,
We invite applications for a five-day training workshop in text encoding for epigraphy
and papyrology, and publication of ancient texts, at the Institute of Classical Studies,
University of London, April 9–13, 2018.
The training will be offered by Gabriel Bodard (ICS), Martina Filosa (Köln),
Simona Stoyanova (ICS) and Polina Yordanova (ICS/Sofia)
and there will be no charge for the workshop. Thanks to the generosity
of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a limited number of bursaries
are available to assist students and other unfunded scholars with the costs of travel
and accommodation.
EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net http://epidoc.sourceforge.net/) is a community of practice, recommendations and tools
for the digital editing and publication of ancient texts based on TEI XML.
EFES (github.com/EpiDoc/EFES) is a publication platform closely geared
to EpiDoc projects and designed for use by non-technical editors.
No expert computing skills are required, but a working knowledge
of Greek/Latin or other ancient language, epigraphy or papyrology,
and the Leiden Conventions will be assumed. The workshop is open
to participants of all levels, from graduate students to professors and professionals.
To apply for a place on this workshop please email gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk,
by Feb 28, 2018 including the following information:
1.
a brief description of your reason for interest 2.

If you would like to request a bursary, estimate how much you would need.
All the best, Simona
