Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce that the program of the 5th Annual Conference
of Computational Literary Studies (CCLS2026), to take place in Potsdam,
Germany, on 28-29 May 2026, is now available on the conference website:
https://jcls.io/site/ccls2026/.

We have also opened the general registration for the conference:
https://fmsup-ext.uni-potsdam.de/fs-extern/form/provide/564/.
Both on-site and online attendance is possible. Thanks to the support of
the University of Potsdam, there will be no participation fee. Please
register as soon as possible (!) since the number of on-site
participants at the conference is limited.

All conference contributions will be collected in a reader, which will
be delivered to each participant two weeks before the event takes place.
Participants are encouraged to read the contributions ahead in order to
enable in-depth discussions. During the conference, each contribution is
allocated an half an hour slot, consisting of a 10-minute presentation
by the author(s) and a 20-minute discussion.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at
digital-humanities@uni-potsdam.de.

We look forward to welcoming you to Potsdam!

Best wishes,

the CCLS2026 organising team
