11 - 12 June 2026 | Library Hall

The University of Oldenburg is bringing its digital humanities community together - over two days, in one room, with one common question:

Where are we - and where is the journey going?

The digital humanities (DH) are at the interface between the humanities and digital technologies. They bring methods of Computing Science, data analysis and visualisation to subjects such as history, linguistics, philosophy or art history and thus enable completely new ways of answering old questions or even posing new questions in the first place, creating interdisciplinary dialogues and synergy effects and generating new insights through co-operation.

Whether AI-supported searches of historical sources, computer-aided analysis of large volumes of text or the preservation and 3D digitisation of artefacts: DH are as diverse as the humanities themselves.

The 1st DH Day offers a platform for an exchange on current projects, new methods and the future of digital humanities at the University of Oldenburg - open to all researchers and interested parties from Oldenburg and the surrounding area.

Programme highlights:

• Keynote speech by Prof Dr Andrea Rapp (TU Darmstadt | President of the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz)
• Presentations by Oldenburg academics from all Schools on their DH projects
• Roundtable discussion on the status quo and the future of DH at the university
• 3GO doctoral candidate day on 11 June on the topic of Digital Humanities

Further information on the programme and registration will be available here shortly.

Organised by:

Jonas Kaiser (Library and Information System / BIS, Digital Humanities Officer)

Dr Lucas Haasis (Gamelab Villa Geistreich and Gerda Henkel Fellow, German Maritime Museum)
