The eHumanities
Innovation Award
recognizes emerging researchers who have developed new automated
methods for the analysis of Humanities content. We particularly
look for research that involves a deep understanding of issues
from both the Humanities and from the Information Sciences.
Individual researchers may thus be primarily centered in the
Humanities or in the Information Sciences but we also invite work
that involves collaboration across these boundaries.
Your
proposal should clarify the following points:
How
does your methodology/technique work? Explain and discuss here
in detail not only the technique you propose, but also the
distinguishing features of your approach.
Which
benefits does your method provide for the humanities? Please
explain in detail how your method is used in any field of the
humanities? Do not forget to provide good examples.
What
are the next steps for your research process?
We
are not
interested in a combination of digital data with previously
available tools or visualization techniques.
Who
can apply? This
award focuses on researchers who have received their PhD’s within
the previous 5 years or are still working on the PhD.
Procedure:
Send
a proposal abstract until July,
31st, 2012.
After
reviewing, the participants with the 5 most interesting
contributions will be asked to present both data and results
of their submissions (early
September 2012).
Finally,
the winner and two notable mentions will be announced by September
30th, 2012.
The
winner will receive a 1000 Euro award and will be invited to the 2012
Leipzig eHumanities Seminar to
present the contribution.
Please
send an anonymized proposal of no more than 1.500 words by July,
31st,
2012 to award@e-humanities.net.
