The fourth *DHBenelux Conference* (http://dhbenelux2017.eu/ <https://webmail.uu.nl/OWA/redir.aspx?C=xYgCNlMedzo9Fw4xfGU7kc_xd8Rx666B2--j4pFSvj6GgZcLZVnUCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fdhbenelux2017.eu%2f>) will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from *Monday 3 to Wednesday 5 July 2017*. The conference will be hosted by Utrecht University and is open to everyone, including researchers from outside the Benelux. The DHBenelux conference aims to disseminate digital humanities projects in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg, and foster collaboration between them. DHBenelux organises an annual conference in one of the Benelux countries. The conference serves as a platform for DH researchers and offers an opportunity for members of the DH community to meet, present research, demonstrate tools, and discuss projects. We invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of digital humanities and digital social sciences, ranging from practical applications to methodology and theory. Relevant subjects can be any of—but are not limited to—the following: ·Application of digital technology in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies
·Exploration and analysis of multimedia resources
·Text mining and image mining (e.g. stylometry, topic modelling, sentiment mining)
·Digital media, digitization, curation of digital objects
·Software development, systems design and information modelling
·Interfaces, augmented reality, serious gaming
·Design and application of algorithms
·Infrastructures and virtual research environments
·Ethnography and user studies
·Critical study of digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, video games
·Ethical, social and economic aspects of digitality and digital humanities
·Didactics of digital humanities

We particularly encourage PhD students and junior researchers to submit abstracts.
Presentation categories are:

  * *Individual presentations* on papers will be given 15 minutes
    presentation time and 5 minutes for Q&A. Individual presentations
    are especially suitable for presenting research results, whether in
    terms of theory, methodology or outcomes.
  * A poster session will be scheduled, but* posters* may be put up for
    display during the entire conference. Posters are useful to convey
    technical explanations and clarifications, and to demonstrate
    projects and on-going research.
  * For *demonstrating* prototypes, finished software, hardware
    technology, tools, datasets, digital publications and so forth a
    ‘market place’ will be organized.
  * Groups of researchers may propose *panels*. One-hour panel sessions
    are chaired by a panellist who will be responsible for the balance
    between presentation and discussion.

*Individual presentation and panel proposals* may have a maximum length of* 1000 words*. The maximum length for *demonstration and poster proposals* is *500 words*. References and/or bibliography are excluded from the word count. This year peer-reviewing by the Programme Committee will be double-blind. Therefore, *please do not include your name* *and affiliation* in the abstract but only in the EasyChair submission form. After acceptance of the proposal you will have the opportunity to submit a final version with the name(s) of the author(s), in which you may also integrate any commentary from the reviewers. The preferred language of the conference is English. Proposals, presentations and posters in any language in the Benelux will be accepted; note, however, that this will limit the impact of your message. To submit your proposal, please go to the DHBenelux 2017 Submission page <https://webmail.uu.nl/OWA/redir.aspx?C=bmcSWy909k2adi3VVMgiLv4spCmpr2Rdb1rIKpil_xeGgZcLZVnUCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fdhbenelux2017.eu%2fsubmit-proposals%2f> for instructions and a link to EasyChair.
