The digital humanities combine humanities issues with digital methods and are becoming increasingly important in research and teaching. In a week-long lunch series, researchers and DH services from Bremen and Oldenburg will present their current projects and programmes.

The series is aimed at digital humanities researchers and humanities scholars who would like to try out digital methods in their work. The focus is on researchers from Bremen and Oldenburg, but guests from other institutions are also welcome. The aim is to strengthen digital humanities research within the Northwest Alliance.
