Helsinki Di­gital Hu­man­it­ies Hack­a­thon 2023 #DH­H23

By Eliza Papaki | Home Page Events, News | April 28, 2023

24 May – 2 June 2023 | Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon #DHH23 will be organised on 24.5.-2.6.2023 as CLARIN and DARIAH international summer school. The event will be organised as an in-person hackathon. Participation to #DHH23 is free to all accepted participants. In addition, the organisers will offer bursaries for travel and lodging.

The Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon is a chance to experience an interdisciplinary research project from start to finish within the span of 10 days. For researchers and students from computer science and data science, the hackathon gives the opportunity to test their abstract knowledge against complex real-life problems. For people from the humanities and social sciences, it shows what is possible to achieve with such collaboration.
 
For both, the hackathon gives the experience of intensely working with people from different backgrounds as part of an interdisciplinary team, as, during the hackathon, each group develops a digital humanities research project from start to finish. Working together, they formulate research questions with respect to particular data sets, develop and apply methods and tools to answer them, and present the work at the end of the hackathon. For information on what the hackathon was like in previous years, see #DHH22, #DHH21, #DHH19, #DHH18, #DHH17, #DHH16 and #DHH15.

5 ECTS credits may be gained from participating in the hackathon for students at the University of Helsinki and other universities.

Themes

This year, the hackathon groups are organised around the following four themes:

  • Letter metadata and society understanding
  • Interactional dynamics of online discussion 
  • Early modern scientific publications
  • Political polarization in the parliament

(See further information on the DHH23 themes)
