Centre for Digital Humanities

The Groningen Centre for Digital Humanities is an interfaculty platform that connects scholars from the Faculty of Philosophy, the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society and the Faculty of Arts. It supports scholars from these faculties in training Digital Humanities skills, and in collaborating, designing, funding and thinking about DH research projects.

As the developments in the field of Digital Humanities and computational and data driven research are moving fast, it is crucial for media scholars, historians, archeologists, art historians, literary scholars, linguists or political scientists to learn to engage with both digitized and born-digital data.

The Centre for Digital Humanities:

• aims to take the lead in the agenda of making a digital turn within the Humanities. It will open up new pathways to address various important societal issues that are currently at stake.
• promotes a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to foster innovative research and to fuse the strengths of humanities research with those of computer and information science.
