The 6th Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries Conference wrapped up in March. Thanks to all who made this conference a success, including the attendees, presenters, workshop organizers, keynote speakers, and our co-organizers at the Uppsala University Library and the Department of ALM!

The demand for skills in artificial intelligence (AI) is great and has been broadened to more professional groups. Now, WASP-ED, a new national development program for training in AI, has begun. "We will scale up our capacity to teach about artificial intelligence", says Anna Foka, senior lecturer at the Department of ABM at Uppsala University.

The CDHU has now begun work within the Wallenberg AI and Transformative Technologies Education Development Program (WASP-ED).

The CDHU is very pleased to announce the programme for the upcoming 2022 Digital Humanities Longview (virtual) seminar series, co-hosted with Stanford University’s Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA) and the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. All seminars will be held on Zoom, in English and at 18.00–19.30 hrs to accommodate time zone differences between Sweden and California.

Seven pilot projects have now begun with support from the CDHU in Autumn 2021, and more are scheduled to begin in Spring 2022. The CDHU is excited to welcome the researchers involved, and looks forward to working with these projects!

We are pleased to announce that three employees from the Department of ALM (Archival, Library & Information, Museum & Cultural Heritage Studies) and the Centre for Digital Humanities Uppsala (CDHU) have been selected as new members of the European Open Science Cloud Association (EOSC) Task Forces.

The Centre for Digital Humanities Uppsala (CDHU) has been awarded financial support for research infrastructure through Vetenskapsrådet (the Swedish Research Council) Grant for Research Infrastructure of National Interest.
