SUMMARY:Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon 2025 #DHH25
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the award-winning
  Helsinki Digital Humanities Hackathon 2025—an exciting chance to colla
 borate\, innovate and push your own boundaries. Apply and be part of this 
 milestone event!\n\nAs a CLARIN and DARIAH summer school\, Helsinki Di
 gital Humanities Hackathon #DHH25 is truly international\, welcoming appli
 cations from all over Europe and beyond! This year we are prepared to spon
 sor a dozen or more participants from outside Finland with flights and acc
 ommodation (see Practicalities for details). Participation in #DHH25 is 
 free to all accepted participants.\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 
 the hackathon was like in previous years\, see #DHH24\, #DHH23\, #DHH22
