Academia and the humanities have never been more digital, which pushes digital humanities to frontiers beyond computational approaches to humanities or the application of humanities research methods to the digital. In this context, the COMHUM workshop series positions itself as an international forum primarily devoted to the following research questions:
- which formal or computational approaches can help address the particular challenges posed by the growing presence of the digital in humanities, e.g., digital artifacts, software, LLMs, and computer-generated data? In these cases and beyond,
- which methods are most appropriate to tackle the challenges posed by humanities research and how can they be applied to concrete research questions?
The program will consist of invited and contributed talks. The official language of the workshop is English. Contributions can be submitted in English or French.

The SSH Open Marketplace Editorial Board is happy to invite you to a series of hands-on workshops to strengthen FAIR and digital research skills. This session of the series is dedicated to applying domain-specific standards, resources and research practices (GLAM institutions).
Participants will be able to understand the specific characteristics and challenges of cultural heritage and GLAM data, identify relevant tools, standards, and services for GLAM data in the SSH Open Marketplace, apply FAIR principles to digitised and born-digital cultural heritage data, integrate GLAM datasets into interdisciplinary SSH research workflows and promote reuse and sustainability of cultural heritage data through documentation and sharing practices.

This course aims to help you understand the basics of copyright, and to help you apply these concepts in order to determine if, and which, copyright exists in cultural heritage collections. Making such an identification is crucial for cultural heritage organisations to be able to successfully use, give access to, and enable the reuse of materials in their collections.
