SUMMARY:Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon 2024 #DHH24
DESCRIPTION:Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon #DHH24 will be organised 
 on 15.–24.5.2024 as a CLARIN and DARIAH international summer school
 . The event will be organised as an in-person hackathon. Participation to 
 #DHH24 is free to all accepted participants. In addition\, there will be
  bursaries for travel and lodging.\n\nThe Helsinki Digital Humanities Hack
 athon is a chance to experience an interdisciplinary research project fr
 om start to finish within the span of 10 days. For researchers and stude
 nts from computer science and data science\, the hackathon gives the oppor
 tunity to test their abstract knowledge against complex real-life problems
 . For people from the humanities and social sciences\, it shows what is po
 ssible to achieve with such collaboration.\n\nFor both\, the hackathon giv
 es the experience of intensely working with people from different backgrou
 nds as part of an interdisciplinary team\, as\, during the hackathon\, eac
 h group develops a digital humanities research project from start to finis
 h. Working together\, they formulate research questions with respect to pa
 rticular 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
