*Digitization of the Humanities and New Ways of Teaching*

With the rise of the digital era, more and more data are being 
collected, produced, organized and/or disseminated in bits and bytes. 
This digitization process brings new dimensions and fresh approaches to 
the humanities, inspiring innovation in research and teaching, as well 
as drawing attention to the cross-cutting concerns and discussions of 
technologies’ impact on society in the twenty-first century. With the 
theme of “Digitization of the Humanities and New Ways of Teaching”, this 
conference aims at looking into how new concepts of the humanities 
arising from digitization can help to create new possibilities in 
research, teaching and learning:
