Digital Humanities

Technical advances in recent decades have led to a new form of research: Digital Humanities. This involves research and teaching at the interface between the humanities and information technology. Using computer-aided research methods offers new possibilities for evaluating scientific sources and drastically changing approaches to research across the wider humanities.These new approaches are based on an understanding of research in the field of humanities that goes beyond the straightforward use of digital materials to explicitly examine methodological questions, create new fields of research and to create new conditions for the reception of research projects in wider society. Digital humanities also address the issues around making cultural heritage digitally-accessible in a sustainable manner and explore how it can be used in an innovative way.
