DH Benelux 2026


We are delighted to have research associates from our DH Lab speaking at this year’s DH Benelux in Maastricht. Four days full of inspiring insights in the interdisciplinary area of the Digital Humanities. Under the theme “Digital Storytelling,” the conference seeks to explore how digital tools are transforming and reshaping familiar ways of sharing stories across cultures and disciplinary boundaries. Our research associates will present their work in posters and take part in one of the interesting panel discussions:
