Dear digital humanities enthusiasts,

HELDIG is organizing the Di­gital Hu­man­it­ies in the Nor­dic Coun­tries (DHN) conference in 7-9 March 2018 in Helsinki, Finland (http://heldig.fi/dhn-2018).

The registration for the conference is now open. See the instructions, fees, and the registration form here: http://heldig.fi/dhn-2018/registration

The preliminary programme of the DHN conference is available here: http://heldig.fi/dhn-2018/programme

In addition to the main conference tracks, the DHN programme includes interesting pre-conference workshops (http://heldig.fi/dhn-2018/programme#section-45496). Please remember to register for the workshops as well - you will be asked for your selection in the conference registration form.

* News Hackathon *

We are proud to offer a 1,5 hackathon on digitised newspaper corpora and web-archives! The hackathon takes place on 5-6 March, prior the main conference. More information and registration (by 31 January 2018) for the hackathon: https://www.kansalliskirjasto.fi/en/events/hacking-the-news-from-digitised-n...

* Call for Open Science workshops in DHN2018 (March 9, 2018) *

The overarching theme of DHN2018 is Open Science. This pragmatic concept emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices, open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all greatly facilitated by digitalisation. Conference participants have been invited to specifically highlight aspects of Open Science in the submitted work.

A call is now open for workshops that emphasize themes relevant to Open Science. The workshops will take place on March 9, 2018 in Tiedekulma, parallel to the main event. We are looking for proposals on any aspects or activities that are relevant for Open Science. Examples of appropriate formats include, but are not limited to, academic seminar, hackathon, or a public outreach event.

Brief proposals (max 1 page) can be sent to Leo Lahti leo.lahti@iki.fi (DHN2018 Open Science chair) by Feb 5, 2018. Kindly include a brief description of the event, anticipated number of participants, session timing (up to a full-day event), and contact information of the organizer/s. You can also contact us to discuss the proposal in more detail before submission.
