It develops DH collaboration and supports research projects, teaching activities and infrastructure projects across the faculties.

Digital Humanities Internship Experience

I recently completed my internship at GhentCDH in the spring of 2024. In this blogpost I want to reflect on my experience, activities and lessons learned. 

Bent u geschiedenisleraar eerste jaar? Help ons via een kort interview!

Het project Cune-IIIF-orm heeft als doel de rijke geschiedenis van Mesopotamië en het bijbehorende erfgoed toegankelijk te maken voor een breed publiek via een digitale wetenschappelijke editie en een virtuele tentoonstelling, ondersteund door pop-up tentoonstellingen. We willen hierbij diverse doelgroepen betrekken. Om dit project succesvol vorm te geven, zoeken we naar belanghebbenden die bereid zijn om deel te nemen aan een interview. Hierbij richten we ons in de eerste plaats op geschiedenisdocenten die lesgeven in het eerste jaar.
