 humanities research\, by using chat prompting versions and also accessing 
 LLM (large language models) with API.\n\nPARTICIPANTS\n\nThere are no prer

 rs and new technologies for humanists can be a demanding task. Building on
  the experience of previous years\, BSSDH strives to create a community wh
 ere participants can share their challenges\, their findings and their kno
 w-how with each other. For that reason we plan daily wrap-up and sharing s
 essions – to process what was experienced during the day\, what has been
  learned\, and what needs to be addressed again. \n\nREGISTRATION FEE\n\n
