Today, digital humanities represent a prime space for experimentation, analysis, and the promotion of knowledge. At a time when artificial intelligence is transforming research practices, this half-day workshop invites the Sorbonne University community to explore the interactions between digital technologies, data, and the humanities.
The goal is to familiarize you with concrete tools and approaches for exploiting, structuring, or visualizing research data, while initiating a reflection on the potential of AI within scientific projects. Particular attention will be paid to how these technologies can enhance the visibility, coherence, and competitiveness of projects, especially within the framework of national and European calls for funding.
The program will be developed in consultation with participants to best meet their specific needs and disciplinary practices. At the end of the workshop, a support mechanism may be offered to assist in implementing digital methods within your research projects.
This workshop follows the launch day of the Digital Humanities Initiative, which focuses on the theme: Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence: Interactions / Altercations.
Come and discover how the dialogue between the humanities and technology can renew research approaches and open up new perspectives for scientific collaboration.
