Today, there are many ways in which the human and social sciences use 
digital tools to investigate different aspects of human life and 
society. As the significance and use of digital resources continually 
expands into new fields of study, there are some disciplines which have 
already been working with digital methods for decades. This conference 
aims to present an overview of the current state of research in fields 
such as archival studies, cultural studies, history, linguistics, 
literature, performing and visual arts, philosophy where novel 
approaches are being made available through digital tools. The 2024 
conference focusses on novel and innovative approaches to make use of 
digital applications, in particular in the light of the advent of 
machine learning and A.I. solutions.

The Digital Research Data and Human Sciences (DRDHum 2024) conference 
aims to bring together researchers who have different areas of interest 
and expertise to discuss the themes of data compilation and management, 
and to share their knowledge and experience. We encourage contributions 
from researchers and research groups who have implemented 
interdisciplinary research to participate in the event.

DRDHum 2024 is organized by the University of Eastern Finland. The first 
(D)RDHum Conference was hosted at the University of Oulu in 2019, where 
the focus was specifically on linguistic text corpora. The second 
conference, 2022 at the University of Jyväskylä was more expansive, 
looking at digital resources and technologies within the humanities and 
include multi-modal approaches.

Submissions of individual papers, posters, and workshops are welcome but 
not limited to:

*Humanities and social research in the fields of e.g.*

o digital cultural, gender and ethnic studies

o digital discourse analysis

o digital history

o digital literary studies

o data-rich literary history

o digital solutions in logopedics

*Submission guidelines *

Authors are invited to submit an abstract for theoretical or empirical 
work of 250-400 words (excluding references), which should indicate the 
research questions, data and methods used, and give a brief indication 
of the results.

Besides oral and poster presentations, the conference will be happy to 
be the venue for select thematic workshops. Workshops will address a 
particular topic within the general theme of the conference. The chair/s 
of the workshop will be required submit an abstract, maximum 500 words 
(excluding references) introducing the proposed topic, the aim of the 
event and the expected audience. These workshops must include a 
practical part, it is therefore essential that the maximum number of 
participants (and any particular requirements) is given in the proposal. 
These workshops must be, furthermore, open to conference participants only.

A list of those workshops and tutorials which have been accepted will 
then be announced on the conference website. After this, submissions to 
the workshops or tutorials themselves can then be made, following 
further instructions that will have been given by the organizers.

We therefore invite the following types of submissions:

 1. Abstract for an *oral presentation* (20 min + 10 min for discussion)
 2. Proposal for a *workshop* (2 hours in length)
