Expanding teachers’ digital skills
While the CDH offers an extensive training programme in digital humanities, we recognise that in some cases teaching staff may require more specialised expertise to further expand their skillset. This CDH Small Grant is designed to support such needs by funding participation in external trainings or courses. Topics may include, for example:
- using and managing digital corpora;
- developing your own digital data collections;
- (partially) automating the process of coding and annotation;
- analysing and enriching data with computational and/or statistical techniques;
- presenting of data and results in digital or visual form.
We invite you to submit a short proposal outlining which external training or course you wish to attend, and explaining your motivation.
Who can apply?
Lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors within the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University are eligible to apply.
What can be applied for?
The CDH can contribute up to €2.000,- per proposal. Departments may choose to provide additional support, but this cannot be claimed and will not affect the evaluation of your proposal. Applicants are expected to explore such possibilities within their own department.
How to apply
Submit a brief proposal of 200-300 words (in English or Dutch), including:
- the digital humanities skills you wish to acquire or further develop;
- the connection between the proposed training and the course(s) you teach at Utrecht University;
- a concise budget.
Please send your proposal to cdh@uu.nl, with the subject line: ‘CDH Small Grants Proposal – Expanding teacher’s digital skills’.
Deadline
This is an ongoing call, open as long as funds are available. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and distributed as evenly as possible across the four departments. Decisions are made within one month.
