Sharing the below call – even though the main work has to be based in the UK due to UKRI eligibility rules there is potential funding available through international collaboration with partners not based in the UK. Kind regards, Sam --- Samantha Callaghan KDL Research Software Analyst Samantha.Callaghan(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:Samantha.Callaghan@kcl.ac.uk> King’s Digital Lab | REACH Space | 3rd Floor, East Wing, Surrey Street | Strand Campus | London WC2R 2LS https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk<https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/> | @kingsdigitallab<https://twitter.com/kingsdigitallab> For general enquiries, please contact kdl-info(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:kdl-info@kcl.ac.uk> Pronouns: She/Her/Ia Mastodon: @SamC@mastodon.nz<https://mastodon.nz/@SamC> From: DisCouRSE Network+ Announcement List <DISCOURSE-NETWORK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:DISCOURSE-NETWORK@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> on behalf of ARC.Discourse <000138f163b63156-dmarc-request(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:000138f163b63156-dmarc-request@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> Date: Tuesday, 23 September 2025 at 21:12 To: DISCOURSE-NETWORK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:DISCOURSE-NETWORK@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> <DISCOURSE-NETWORK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:DISCOURSE-NETWORK@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> Subject: Funding call announcement: DisCouRSE Network+ Flexible Fund Round 1 Some people who received this message don't often get email from 000138f163b63156-dmarc-request(a)jiscmail.ac.uk<mailto:000138f163b63156-dmarc-request@jiscmail.ac.uk>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Dear all, The DisCouRSE Network+ project<https://discourse-network.github.io/> aims to encourage and support the development of leaders of all kinds across all digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) roles, resulting in an empowered and connected community equipped to shape the future of digital research. We have a twin focus on leadership training and dRTP career pathways – preparing the next generation of leaders and ensuring roles exist for them to lead within. We are delighted to announce the launch of our flexible fund which supports community-led projects aligned with this goal, enabling aspiring leaders to trial approaches to enhancing skills and career opportunities within their local contexts, build new connections through joint initiatives, and strategically assess options for future investment and activity. This first call has no specific focus areas: any proposals relevant to DisCouRSE’s aims above are allowed. The intent is to be open to ideas from the community, enabling the Network to learn what is already happening and could be expanded with our support, and enabling you to do “proof of concept” work to support larger proposals in future rounds. We welcome applications that seek to expand on existing work, or to kick-start activities that you are already thinking about. For more information and to apply visit https://discourse-network.github.io/funding/round-1. If you decide not to apply in this round, we will need reviewers for applications, giving you an excellent insight into the process to inform a future application. Please volunteer at https://forms.office.com/e/KB10mVSAZZ. We are also using this form to collate details of those willing to review for other networks and similar projects<https://www.cake.ac.uk/landscape/rtp> within the UK Digital Research Infrastructure landscape. Key information * We anticipate funding 10-20 projects in this round of the flexible fund, led by digital Research Technical Professionals. * Individual projects can budget up to £10k funding at 100% full economic cost (fEC) level. DisCouRSE will pay 80% fEC in most cases.

In a region where the field of Digital Humanities is still relatively underdeveloped, this conference aims to address this gap and foster growth and collaboration in the field. The conference offers an opportunity for researchers interested in showcasing their work in the broad field of Digital Humanities to come together. By doing so, the conference provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of- the-art in Digital Humanities, particularly within the Southern Africa region. As such, we welcome submissions related to Digital Humanities research conducted by individuals from Southern Africa or research focused on the geographical area of Southern Africa in the broad sense. Furthermore, the conference serves as a platform for information sharing and networking among researchers passionate about Digital Humanities. By bringing together experts working on Digital Humanities in Southern Africa or with a focus on Southern Africa, we aim to promote collaboration and facilitate further research in this dynamic field. In addition to the main conference, affiliated workshops and tutorials will be organised, providing researchers with valuable insights into novel technologies and tools. These supplementary events are designed for researchers interested in specific aspects of Digital Humanities or seeking practical information to enter or advance their knowledge in the field. The DHASA conference welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from researchers in various domains of Digital Humanities, including, but not limited to, language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies, media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies, library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, AI, and more. Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive scientific community of practice within Digital Humanities. RAIL WORKSHOP Theme: Language resources in the age of large language models The sixth Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop will be co-located with the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) 2025 conference at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa, on 10 November 2025. The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on African indigenous languages resources such as natural languages processing (NLP) tools, Human Language Technologies (HLT), data collections, and annotations. This workshop aims to foster a scientific community of practice that focuses on computational linguistic tools and data that are designed for or applied to the indigenous languages of Africa. Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few are considered to be somewhat better resourced. These languages often share interesting properties such as writing systems, making them different from most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective, these languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development of NLP and HLT tools, which in turn impedes the development of African languages in these areas. During previous workshops, it was noted that the problems and solutions presented were not only applicable to African languages but were also relevant to many other low-resource languages across the world. Because these languages share similar challenges, this workshop provides researchers with opportunities to work collaboratively on issues of language resource development and learn from each other. The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a community of practice for people working on indigenous languages. Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to improve the quality as well as availability of the resources.
