Overview

Co-organized by the EPFL College of Humanities (CDH) and the UNIL-EPFL dhCenter, in partnership with the Initiative for Media Innovation (IMI), the inaugural DHdays will take place at the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne and online from June 22-23, 2022.

The event will be a celebration of the interdisciplinary research being done by the local community and beyond, in particular how digital innovations across domains in the arts, humanities and social sciences impact the world we live in.

DHdays will showcase the breadth and global impact of digital humanities work, with this year’s edition touching on three key themes:

DH & Media
DH& Education
DH & Heritage

A great list of speakers has already been confirmed, with more to come, and we look forward to announcing the detailed program in the coming weeks.

Registration is now open, so please register to join us, as this will be an event not to be missed.
