Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin, Tuesdays (fortnightly) October 2019–February 2020, 4:15–5:45 pm

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the sixth series of the Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin, organised by the "Zentrum Grundlagenforschung Alte Welt" of the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities together with the Berliner Antike Kolleg. The seminar will run during the winter term of the 2019/20 academic year.

We invite submissions on any kind of research that innovativly employs digital methods, resources or technologies in order to enable a better or new understanding of the ancient world. We especially encourage contributions which show how computer assisted technologies provide answers to questions intrinsic to a field of research or to questions of interdisciplinary interest.

Presentations may cover one of the following topics which make the cultural heritage accessible and deepen our understanding of it: digital (critical) editions, natural language processing, image processing and visualisation, 3D developments, linked open data and the semantic web, spatial and network analysis, machine learning, techniques to be used for an open science, and any other digital or quantitative methods. Other and new ideas are very welcome!

We do accept abstracts written in English as well as in German, and the presentations can also be held in either language.
