Events:
Infrastructures to reassemble data scattered across domains, borders and media: an encounter between researchers and memory organisations
Summary: This half-day workshop aims to create a space where research stories intertwine with the narratives of cultural heritage organisations (CHOs) that hold cultural heritage data. Participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, solutions and identify needs related to infrastructural support to DH research. The workshop seeks to identify ways to improve the findability, interoperability and use of data scattered across borders, domains and media; or data separated from the materials needed to interpret them.
Organisers: Johanna Lilja (National Library of Finland), Liisa Näpärä (National Library of Finland), Inés Matres (University of Helsinki), Eiríkur Smári Sigurðarson (Icelandic Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts), and Mari Väina (Estonian Folklore Archives)
Please note that this workshop has a Call for Proposals with submission deadline 11 January 2026.
Markdown for Academic Writing
Summary: This hands-on full-day tutorial introduces participants to using Markdown for academic writing, from theses and articles to full-length books. It is suitable for both beginners and those with prior experience. The session covers essential and extended Markdown features, including citations with Zotero and CSL, as well as optional LaTeX-based tools for indexes and glossaries. By the end, participants will be able to produce publication-ready documents in multiple formats. The tutorial also highlights Markdown’s advantages over traditional word processors and LaTeX, offering a flexible, structured, and accessible workflow for scholarly writing.
Organiser: Elisabeth Maria Magin (University of Oslo).
