The nomination period for EADH Elections is officially open. We are currently seeking four (4) new members to join our Executive Committee. This is an exciting opportunity to actively contribute to the development of a newly relaunched EADH from 2026-2029!

Are you an engaged scholar in the digital humanities with a sharp editorial eye and a commitment to academic quality? DSH: Digital Scholarship in the Humanities—a leading international peer-reviewed journal—is looking for two Associate Editors to join its editorial team. The initial appointment will be for one year, after which a longer term will be offered following an evaluation.

EADH is pleased to announce the appointment of Øyvind Eide as its new President.

Øyvind’s work moves across digital humanities and cultural heritage informatics, with a long-standing engagement in modelling and how it can be used to better understand the relationships between different media. His research focuses in particular on transformative digital intermedia studies, exploring how texts and maps communicate, interact, and shape meaning in distinct ways.

The European Association for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce the recipients of the EADH Small Grants. The selected projects reflect the breadth and vitality of current digital humanities research and practice, spanning areas such as digital philology, archives and preservation, community-based documentation, sustainability, and the critical study of machine translation. We are happy to present them here.

The Call for Papers for EADH 2026 is now open. Under the theme “Linking Europe: Digital Humanities Without Borders”, the conference invites the DH community to explore technological transformations, from AI to multilingual infrastructures and sustainable data governance. Submissions are welcome until 27 February 2026.

This conference seeks to explore the cultural and intellectual roots of technological optimism in the 1970s and 1980s, decades that tend to be better known for their pervasive undercurrents of pessimism about threats to the natural environment and human well-being. Nonetheless, significant technological advances continued, and transformative visions of progress gained traction, paving the way for the techno-utopianism of the 1990s. We aim to examine how the popular culture and creative expression of the era captured and amplified positive beliefs in technology’s power to foster innovation, creativity, prosperity and freedom. We invite scholars, historians, technologists and cultural critics to submit papers addressing the historical and cultural dimensions of technological optimism during this pivotal era.

On 18th November 2025, the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub events programme will host the Emerging Digital Methodologies Conference. This in-person conference is now inviting presenters from any discipline to submit papers on new applications of digital methods; the use case and problems of any digital method; and how digital methodologies are changing their field.
