Training Programme Autumn 2026 – New workshops and lectures
The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is pleased to present its Autumn 2026 Training Programme. Join us this semester for a series of free workshops and lectures on digital methods, tools, and critical perspectives in the humanities.
We will kick off the Autumn semester on 17 September with a special online lecture by Julian Posada (Yale University) on Platform Extractivism – Data work and the people powering AI. Curated and hosted by Fabian Ferrari.
For anyone looking to create a good-looking thesis, article, or dissertation without spending hours on formatting, Xander Vertegaal returns with his Introduction to LaTeX workshop on 6 October.
During the two-session workshop Getting started with Qualtrics on 8 and 22 October, Kirsten Schutter and Tijmen Baarda will guide participants step by step through the basics of survey design and management in Qualtrics, and will show you how to optimise your data collection.
We are also delighted to welcome back Hugo Schnack with Machine learning – principles and practices on 14 October. This workshop is now divided into two sessions that can be attended together or separately: an introductory session in the morning and a more in-depth session in the afternoon.
On 22 October, Lotje Siffels (Radboud University) will deliver an online lecture on the timely topic How the presence of Big Tech reshapes values in healthcare. This talk offers an excellent follow-up to this spring’s lecture on digital autonomy at Dutch universities.
Of course, our evergreen workshop Entry-level Python in four days is back on the menu. Hosted by the CDH Research Software Lab and starting on 18 November, it continues to be one of our most popular offerings.
We will conclude the programme on 20 November with a special workshop presented by the UU ArtLab: Capturing objects in 3D – Photogrammetry in heritage research. During this hands-on session, Sjors Nab and Sanne Frequin will guide participants through the process of transforming ordinary images into high-quality digital 3D representations of objects.
