Hi all,

MITACS is a Canadian knowledge mobilization funding agency that runs a summer intern programme for excellent undergraduates in select countries. Most are science-focussed, but there are some computing and DH-related ones that would be of relevance to this community including two at Uleth:

Hi Nirmala,

Here's the announcement for the MITACS summer internships we were talking about in Krakow. We have two, which your students can find by choosing "University of Lethbridge" (under U rather than L) as the institution and then O'Donnell as a key word.

This project involves work on the publication, dissemination, and management of 3D, 2D, and textual Cultural Heritage Data. We will be working with 3D models and the publication of datasets. The project is located at the intersection of Computer Science, Data Management, Scholarly Communication, Semantic Web applications, Computer Visualisation, Digital Cultural Heritage, Anglo-Saxon studies, and the Digital Humanities.

We are particularly interested in students with good computing skills who are interested in working cross disciplinarily. Or Humanities students who are interested in learning more about computing.

We are seeking a student to work with us either on developing Text-to-Speech application for Punjabi language or on development of XML/metadata schema for the Sikh religious text: Shiri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS). This will involve some aspect of the following (depending on student strength(s)): * Text-to-Speech application research and development *Metadata design and processing for the SGGS Depending on student interests, skills in the following will be useful: * Text-to-Speech development preferably in Gurmukhi Punjabi * XML (and related languages and standards) * Java/C++ * TextualCommunities application * Working knowledge of or willingness to learn Gurmukhi Punjabi Students who have some of these skills and not others can be trained. We are able and willing to adapt the work to skills students wish to develop.
