Digital Humanities Research Software Engineering (RSE) Summer School 

Registration is now open for the Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School taking place on 24–25 July 2023 (online) and 27–28 July 2023 (Cambridge), and is co-organised by The Centre for Data, Culture & Society, Cambridge Digital Humanities, King’s Digital Lab and The Alan Turing Institute. 

The Summer School features a combination of online talks and in-person workshops hosted by Cambridge Digital Humanities. The content will focus on the roles and practices of the Research Software Engineer in Digital Humanities research covering topics such as careers in RSE, project life cycle, rapid prototyping, collaborative coding, testing practices, containers and serverless, high-performance computing, structure from motion (3D) and teaching computational methods.  

This event is aimed at those who have an interest in becoming a Research Software Engineer in the humanities, or using research software engineering practices in their current or future role. It is ideal for those who already have some experience of coding and may be familiar with some computational methods within humanities projects. Participants may be digital humanities scholars, early career researchers, postgraduate students, data scientists, software engineers in other disciplines considering a move into humanities, or have another similar role within higher education or GLAM institutions. 

The online portion of the Summer School is completely free and open to all. More information and registration links can be found at the Cambridge Digital Humanities website.
