Lectures

Every day after the close of the workshops a lecture directed not only at the participants of the Summer School, but also at other academics, students and the interested public will be given.

These lectures will revolve around the general theme "How do Humanists in general and Digital Humanists in particular actually work? Do the Virtual Research Infrastructures which are being financed and developed at the moment actually take into account the needs and data of the Humanities? Which directions have to be taken if Virtual Research Infrastructures are to serve the Digital Humanities?":
