New CDH Education Program open to staff & students: register now!
We are pleased to present the Fall Education Program 2024 of the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH). Take your first steps into the world of digital humanities or refine your existing skills. Registration is now open!
Every six months, we launch a new series of workshops and lectures within the field of Digital Humanities (DH). The sessions in the CDH Education Program are free, mostly at entry level and require a relatively modest time investment.
For whom?
All staff members of the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University (UU) are warmly invited to register for our free events. Some of our events are especially tailored to educators, while others are more suitable for researchers. Students are also welcome to participate in most of the activities. Please register early to secure your place, as spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
