The DIGITALHUMANITIES.LV Workshop Series creates a shared space for researchers, students, cultural heritage professionals, and interested communities to meet, learn, and exchange experiences around digital humanities practices. Organised in collaboration with the Latvian national nodes of DARIAH and CLARIN, the workshops emphasize collaboration, openness, and practical experimentation, bringing together diverse perspectives on working with digital cultural heritage, data, language technologies, and digital research methods.

The workshop schedule is not fixed and depends on ongoing research projects that use the platform for their educational and training activities; however, the series typically includes around four workshops per year.
