GhentCDH
The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH) engages in the field of ‘Digital Humanities’ at Ghent University, ranging from archaeology and geography to linguistics and cultural studies. It develops DH collaboration and supports research projects, teaching activities and infrastructure projects across the faculties.
Digital heritage
The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities actively supports projects in digital heritage, public participation and virtual exhibitions. We help researchers, educators, and students in creating, managing, and presenting their digital collections.
Geospatial analysis
The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities offers advice, support and training in geospatial data management, analysis and visualization.
Digital text analysis
The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities is committed to advancing the study of textual sources through the use of digital tools. We offer guidance on a wide range of technologies, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and the processing of tabular and layout data.
Collaborative databases
The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities assists researchers in collaboratively managing and working with research data, offering tailored solutions to suit their needs. We provide guidance on tools like Nodegoat, a web-based platform for data management, analysis, and visualization. Our services also include advice on best practices for data standards, long-term storage, interoperability, and linked data integration.

DH & Climate data
On the 27th of February, Ghent CDH and Derrick Muheki (VUB) will be presenting the Meteosaver tool (developed by GhentCDH) and its application in climate data rescue and modeling.
Digital Methods for Historians
GhentCDH invites historians to a one-day workshop on how digital methods can support historical research. The workshop offers introductions to automatic text recognition, data cleaning and enrichment, database design, text analysis, and digital presentation of research results. This is NOT a hands-on workshop where you will learn tools, but an introduction to methodologies and related tools.
Open Research Week 2026
Open Research Week 2026 is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University, and the University of Essex. It is a week that celebrates and promotes open research for researchers and colleagues who support open research. Whilst some sessions are UK-focused, others will be of interest to colleagues around the world. (source: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/open-research/open-research-week-2026/)
