*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:
