It develops DH collaboration and supports research projects, teaching activities and infrastructure projects across the faculties.
DH Support
The Ghent CDH offers advice and guidance throughout the research project lifecycle where digital tools, methods or collections are used. For the research data management and training we work closely with the Library Lab of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Library.
Geospatial analysis
The Ghent CDH offers advice, support and training regarding geospatial data management, analysis and visualisation to the humanities and social sciences researchers at the Ghent University.
Digital text analysis
