Training Digital Scholars

The project ‘Training Digital Scholars: Knowledge Exchange between V4 and Austria’ supports the training of scholars in Digital Humanities and fosters the knowledge exchange between the Visegrad countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia – and Austria. The project is funded by a Visegrad Fund grant.

Three international training schools are organized in Graz, Prague and Budapest during the project (2019–2020).

The training schools cover the following topics:

• Gentle Introduction to Natural Language Processing and Corpus Linguistics
• Linked Data and the Semantic Web for Humanities Research
• Digital Philology

Alongside the on-site international training schools, digital training material is developed and made available via the teaching platform #dariahTeach.

The ACDH-CH is involved in the organization of the first training school – the Spring School LiSeH 2019 on ‘Linked Data and the Semantic Web for Humanities Research’ in Graz – together with the ZIM (University of Graz) and is responsible for the development of online training material regarding linked data and semantic web technologies.
