Dear colleagues, The European Summer University in Digital Humanities (ESU) invites proposals for workshops for the upcoming 16th edition in Université Marie-et-Louis-Pasteur, Besançon, France from July 6 – July 18, 2026.
Workshop areas. We are particularly looking for proposals covering: - Audiovisual analysis and cultural analytics; - Computational & digital philology; - Statistics for humanities; - Design and construction of databases and corpora; - Large Language Models and critical AI. All digital humanities scholars and practitioners, GLAM professionals, interdisciplinary teams at the intersection of humanities, social science and computer science are welcome to submit. Workshop formats 1. Two week course (15 + 15 teaching hours, + 1.5h (x2) open teaser session); 2. One week course (15 teaching hours + 1.5h teaser); Two week workshops will be prioritized in evaluation as they are the core teaching units of the ESU. They run in parallel across the schedule and are designed as comprehensive, intensive hands-on training in key areas of Digital Humanities. Each workshop’s optimal audience is 10-12 participants for efficient learning; a workshop may be cancelled if it has less than 5 registered participants. Submission & timeline. To submit a proposal, please prepare: - Instructors' CV (max. 2 pages) and short bio (max. 250 words); - Title and short abstract (max. 250 words); - Extended description and syllabus (800–1200 words), including a day-by-day outline - Please include intended outcomes, any prerequisites, description of datasets and materials, technical requirements Proposals should be submitted by March 1 via the form here <https://framaforms.org/european-summer-university-in-digital-humanities-workshop-application-1764764943>. The Steering Committee will review the applications and announce results on March 6. Evaluation. Workshops will be evaluated according to their 1) scientific and pedagogical quality; 2) fit to the school’s scope; 3) feasibility; 4) diversity and inclusiveness; 5) sustainability and openness. Practicalities. Accommodation and most meals (with some evenings and Sunday possibly excluded) will be provided for all instructors during their stay in Besançon. Travel costs within Europe will be fully covered; reimbursement of travel costs from outside Europe will be partial and must be agreed upon with the local organizers prior to the start of the ESU. A small teaching honorarium can be expected. Further information will be provided by the local organizers once the workshop’s financial arrangements are secured. We usually avoid significant thematic overlap in the workshop offer, so there will be less priority given to proposals on distant reading, mapping and GIS, stylometry, TEI-XML and digital archives. Feel free to write to esudhsteering [@] gmail.com if you wish to inquire about the fit of your workshop or have any other questions.
