JYUDIG
The JYUDIG network aims to bring together researchers whose research has a digital dimension, either in terms of research material or methodology. Together, we can have an impact and share know-how with new researchers interested in the digital aspects of research. So you can join even if you have no previous experience in digital humanities; just curiosity is enough to learn something new.
The network aims to support researchers by organising events and workshops. The events aim to address the challenges of digitalisation, while the workshops focus on research in progress, be it articles or parts of a PhD thesis.
The network also organises teaching on digital humanism and digital research methods in particular. The course also teaches how to use digital research data, whether they are born digital or digitised.
The JYUDIG group organises events and workshops to promote digital research in the field of human sciences. You don't need to be a digital expert; just an interest in digital issues is enough. The events are open to the public, and you can attend out of sheer interest in finding new ideas for your own research.

“Digital Humanities and ancient Near Eastern studies: idea, application and project results.”
Professor Saana Svärd (University of Helsinki), the director of Ancient Near Eastern Empires Centre of Excellence comes to tell us how the idea of a digital humanities project is being implemented and what the results have been. After Saana Svärd's presentation, the audience will have time to ask for more detailed tips on how to bring digital ideas to the forefront, for example in applications, and what challenges may arise in the project. If you have been considering a project with digital humanities elements, now is an excellent opportunity to get first-hand information.
JYUDIG workshops (starting in autumn 2024) are a place to get feedback on article manuscripts, dissertation sections or digital elements of research in general.
You can also come along to learn new things and consider whether digital research methods or data would be useful for your own research.
In spring 2025, the Digital Research Methods 2.0 course will be launched, including the basics of digital humanism, data and digital tools. The course can be taken in full if you have not previously taken a digital methods course, or you can choose only parts that complement previous courses.
