Dear all,

We are very happy to let you know that applications to the European Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture and Technology" 2025 https://esudh.github.io/ to be held at the university Marie and Louis Pasteur in Besançon (France) from July 21 to August 2 are open from 24 of March up to May 18 via Conftool https://www.conftool.org/esudh2025/.

The Summer University will last for 11 full days with an intensive programme consisting of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion. Each workshop https://esudh.github.io/WorkshopsandLectures/#workshops consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 teaching hours.

Building on the spirit of previous editions in Leipzig and Cluj, the ESU in Besançon aims at being a space for interdisciplinary collaboration and opportunities for scholars and students in Humanities and therefore strengthening the community of practice already established in past years.

The ESU is sponsored by DARIAH with 12 scholarships https://esudh.github.io/application/#dariah-scholarships of 450 Euros each to partially cover the costs of registration and staying in Besançon as well as by CLARIN for the organization of a workshop and of a conference.

Besançon, a lively city of around 120 000 inhabitants and more than 25 000 students from all over the world, has a long tradition of teaching French to non-native speakers. Following the two weeks of the ESU, in the month of August, we will offer the possibility to attend for two to four weeks classes of French within the framework of our “French for DH https://esudh.github.io/esubesancon/#french-for-dh” programme.

For all relevant information please consult ourwebsite https://esudh.github.io/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available. To get some insight into what you can expect from the European Summer University please consult the archive section on our website.

Looking forward to meeting you in Besançon,

The organizers
