Dear all,

held at the Université Marie et Louis Pasteur in Besançon, France, from July

Please find more about the workshop offer and application process on our

you need to arrange visa documents and organize your travel early, do

ESU DH 2026

The Summer University offers an intense program of workshops, teaser
sessions, public lectures, project presentations, a poster session, and a
panel discussion. At the core of ESU are two-week workshops that run in
parallel across the schedule. They are designed as comprehensive, intensive
hands-on training in key areas of Digital Humanities. This year we offer 10
workshops in the areas of:

• Critical AI and Large Language Models

• Distant Reading and Computational Text Analysis

• Digital Archives, Cultural Heritage, and Data Curation

• Phonology and Sound Analysis

• Spatial Humanities and Mapping

• Text Encoding and Digital Philology

Building on the spirit of previous editions in Leipzig and Cluj, the ESU in
Besançon aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between scholars
and students in the Humanities, and to strengthen the community of practice
established in past years.

Scholarships

The ESU is generously supported by our partners DARIAH, EADH, and CLARIN.

Venue

Besançon is a vibrant city of approximately 120,000 inhabitants and more
than 25,000 students from around the world, with a long tradition of
teaching French to non-native speakers. Following the two weeks of the ESU,
we will offer participants the opportunity to attend two to four weeks of
French language classes through our "French for DH" programme.
