#DHN2018 Call for porposals closes on October 25
The 3rd conference of the association of Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries (DHN) will be held at the University of Helsinki March 7–9, 2018. The conference is organised by HELDIG – the Helsinki Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Helsinki, the Faculty of Arts.

The overarching theme this year is Open Science. This pragmatic concept emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices, open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all greatly facilitated by digitalisation. All proposals are invited to reflect on the benefits, challenges, and prospects of open science for their own research.

Digital Humanities in the AABS conference 2018
For the first time in the long history of the conference, Digital Humanities are proposed as a special subject area of the conference. The coordinators of the DH division invite:
"researchers to share their experience on how digital practices, tools and methods have contributed to their research. What’s the contribution of computational power to humanities research, and how has it changed the way we look at and analyze our source materials? Has it opened up new methodological approaches, changed our research questions? And what are researchers’ solutions for handling digital culture, often multimedial, happening in real time, with various legal restrictions: how it can be tamed and transformed into research data?"
Call for proposals #DHN2018
Digital Humanities in
the Nordic Countries calls for submissions for
its 2018 conference in Helsinki, Finland, 7–9 March
2018.
In 2018, the conference seeks to extend the scope of digital humanities research covered, both into new areas, as well as beyond the Nordic and Baltic countries. In pursuit of this, in addition to the abstracts familiar from humanities traditions, we also adopt a call for publication ready texts as is the tradition in computer science conferences. Therefore, we accept the following types of submissions:
Publication ready texts of length appropriate to the topic. Accepted papers will be submitted to the CEUR-WS proceedings series for publication in a citable form. Layout for the papers is not absolutely mandated, but we suggest you use the Springer LNCS templates to ensure a uniform look for the proceedings.
Call for papers: Open licences, open content, open data: tools for developing digital humanities
The conference "Open licences, open content, open data: tools for developing digital humanities" will take place in November 1–3, 2017, at the Estonian National Museum in Tartu.
Call for proposals is open by September 30.

DHN2019: Call for Hosts
With the next/third DHN conference being prepared for 7–9 March 2018 in Helsinki, the Board would like to invite DHN members and others interested in DH to submit proposals for hosting the 2019 conference. The DHN conferences in Oslo 2016 and Gothenburg 2017 were great successes and the forthcoming one in Helsinki promises to be just as stimulating and enjoyable. It is anticipated that the 4th annual DHN conference will be held around the same dates in 2019 as the previous conferences (i.e. mid-March). The conference is expected to be held in one of the Nordic or Baltic countries. Read more
