[From:   Katharine Shields <0000c11cb6719d38-dmarc-request@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>]

Dear colleagues,

The Digital Classicist London seminar invites proposals for the Summer
2025 series. We are looking for papers on any aspect of the ancient or
pre-colonial worlds, including archaeology, cultural heritage, history,
language, literature and their reception, that address innovative
digital approaches to research, teaching, dissemination or engagement.
We particularly welcome proposals that integrate research, archival and
scientific data across disciplinary or other boundaries.

Seminars will be held on Fridays in June and July in the Institute of
Classical Studies, Senate House, London, and will be simultaneously
streamed to remote audiences on Youtube, but we hope most speakers will
be physically present in London. We have a small budget to support
travel for speakers within the UK.

Please send an abstract of 300 words or less to
<gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk <mailto:gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk>> (clearly
marked *Digital Classicist London​*) by the end of *Monday March 31,
2025*. In the email, clearly indicate if you would be able to present in
person in London or online only.

Organisers: Gabriel Bodard, Stephen Kay, Elizabeth Koch Koluk (ICS) and
Katharine Shields (KCL).

        Subject: European Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture and Technology" 2025 - Applications are open

Dear all,

We are very happy to let you know that applications to the European
Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture and Technology" 2025
(https://esudh.github.io) to be held at the university Marie and Louis
Pasteur in Besançon (France) from July 21 to August 2 are open from 24
of March up to May 18 via Conftool (https://www.conftool.org/esudh2025/).

The Summer University will last for 11 full days with an intensive
programme consisting of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures,
regular project presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion.
Each workshop consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 teaching hours
(see https://esudh.github.io/WorkshopsandLectures/#workshops).

Building on the spirit of previous editions in Leipzig and Cluj, the ESU
in Besançon aims at being a space for interdisciplinary collaboration
and opportunities for scholars and students in Humanities and therefore
strengthening the community of practice already established in past years.

The ESU is sponsored by DARIAH with 12 scholarships of 450 Euros each to
partially cover the costs of registration and staying in Besançon (see
https://esudh.github.io/application/#dariah-scholarships) as well as by
CLARIN for the organization of a workshop and of a conference .

Besançon, a lively city of around 120 000 inhabitants and more than 25
000 students from all over the world, has a long tradition of teaching
French to non-native speakers. Following the two weeks of the ESU, in
the month of August, we will offer the possibility to attend for two to
four weeks classes of French within the framework of our “French for DH”
programme (see https://esudh.github.io/esubesancon/#french-for-dh).

For all relevant information please consult our website
(https://esudh.github.io/) which will be continually updated and
integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available. To get
some insight into what you can expect from the European Summer
University please consult the archive section on our website.

Looking forward to meeting you in Besançon,

The organizers
