The Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage offers a growing repertoire of educational activities for the general public. The activities are not only designed to create awareness for the potential of digital humanities research and to include (young) people in the societal discourse about digitization and research, but also do these activities aim to support the acquisition of digital competences and to transfer know-how regarding the use of digital resources and tools. 

Convinced that the digital paradigm shift that is currently transforming humanities research is an issue that concerns not just researchers and their institutions but society at large, the ACDH-CH participates actively in public outreach activities such as science fairs like the Lange Nacht der Forschung or the European Researcher's Night, and science education initiatives like the KinderUni
