Howdoesallthisimpactouron-goingresearchprojects?

This workshop aims at providing concrete answers to specific needs and challengesemerging from projects carried out bymaster and PhD candidates and post-doctoralresearchers.

Aclusterofqualifiedinternationalscholarsandprofessionalshasbeenputtogethertoimprove and transform our research, through theoretical analysis and technologicalresources.

Seminars, as well as training sessions, will be organized in a collaborative andinterdisciplinaryenvironmentto:

- (Re)center theDigitalHumanities inquestions raisedby students, researchers,scholarsandprofessionals.

- Facilitatethechoiceoftechniques;- Shapetheoutcomestroughdigitaltools.- Improveinformationsharing.

“Tailoredtowhatyouneed”istheprinciplewhichunderliesthisinitiativestructuredinthefollowinginterconnectedsections:

1. NetworkAnalysis-MartinGrandjean-September6Objects, people and ideas are increasingly intertwined in present societies and

observing thesenetworks isnowadaysapowerful tool for interpretationand fornew

knowledgeproduction inmultipledisciplines. Similarly,whenwe look at thepastwe

canstudymoreorlesscomplexsocialnetworks,orlookatcrossingdataaboutpeople,

ideasandeventsasawaytoimproveourknowledgeofthosesocieties.Inrecentyears

humanitiesandsocialscienceshavemadeanincreasinglyextensiveuseofthistypeof

methodological approach. Knowing the methods for construction, analysis and

visualizationofsocialnetworks,implementingthemtospecificresearchquestions,will

betheaimofthisworkshop.

2. Spatialvisualisationofhistoricalandarchaeologicaldata-LeifIsaksen-September7Geography is an essential variable in historical and archaeological interpretation and

georeferenced data visualization can draw attention to patterns in the available

information,leadtothedevelopmentofnewquestions,orimprovethecommunication

of research results. Nowadays there are several techniques and tools used in spatial

datavisualizationanditsapplicationtoresearchintheHumanities.SocialScienceshave

spread to an everwider field of analysis, chronologically and thematically.With this

workshoptheaimistointroduceconcepts,methodsandtoolsforspatialvisualization

andexplorewithconcrete researchquestions thepotentialand the limitationsof this

typeofapproach.

3. Augmentinghistoricaldata-RichardZijdeman-September8Currenthistoricalresearchoftencombinesmultipledatasourcesinordertoanswera

4. Readinganddataminingmaps-EvangelosLivieratos,ChrysoulaBoutouraandAngelikiTsorlini-September9Historical mapping is an important source of information for historical and / or

archaeological studies. Old maps can help to improve our knowledge of places and

peopleof thepast. Itsgeoreferencing,readingandsubsequentdataextractionmaybe
