Centre for Digital Humanities Amsterdam (2013-ongoing)

Project Leader on behalf of the VU University in the Centre for Digital Humanities Amsterdam: a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam, the VU University of Amsterdam and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Within the field of Digital Humanities, researchers and students focus on digital or digitized sources and methods of research. Digital data concerning language, art, music, literature and media allow researchers to discovers new patterns, concepts and motives, eventually raising new research questions.

The Centre for Digital Humanities is a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam, the VU University, and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, joining forces with the Netherlands eScience Center

The Centre for Digital Humanities Amsterdam facilitates so-called embedded research projects, in which research questions from the humanities are approached by using techniques and concepts out of the fields of Digital Humanities. In these short and intensive projects, which last between 6 and 12 months, researchers collaborate with private partners and deliver proof-of-concepts. The centre preferably initiates embedded research projects in the context of larger projects in which expertise from the humanities and industry is brought together.
