Inserito il 22/04/2015

The CENDARI project (http://www.cendari.eu/)  invites applications to its second summer school, to be held 20-24 July in Prague, Czech Republic, on the theme “Researching Medieval Culture in a Digital Environment.” The interdisciplinary five-day program is geared especially toward early-career historians and other scholars (doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows) in Medieval Studies as well as toward archivists, librarians, and e-scientists that engage with or specialise in this time period. No prior experience with digital research methods is required.  Participants will need their own laptops. Through a number of hands-on sessions, participants will learn how to enhance their research with tools such as Abbreviationes, Classical Text Editor, and Manuscriptorium. They will also have the opportunity to experiment with the integrative CENDARI Virtual Research Environment. Lectures on the fundamentals of Digital Humanities and its prospects for Medieval Studies as well as field trips to cultural heritage sites in Prague will complete the program. The school will be held at the attractive Old Town venue of the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
The closing date for applications is 15 April 2015 and a number of travel bursaries are available.
