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).

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 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 2025-03-27 10:55:27+00:00 From: Wajdi Zaghouani <wajdiz@gmail.com> Subject: Deadline Extension: Call for Shared Tasks Proposals - ArabicNLP 2025 (co-located with EMNLP 2025) The proposal submission deadline has been extended to April 14th, 2025.
