Programme

September 21–22, 2026

This 1.5-day workshop explores how digital research—particularly in the context of non-Latin script languages—can move beyond traditional scholarly formats by examining the complete research pipeline: production, presentation, and long-term sustainability.

The programme features three thematic sessions, each consisting of a keynote lecture, two invited talks, and a panel discussion:

  • NLP for Non-Latin Scripts
  • Digital Scholarly Communication
  • Sustainability of Digital Scholarship

The workshop is held on site only at Freie Universität Berlin and will not be streamed or offered in a hybrid format.

Brought to you by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) and organized by Joudy Sido Bozan and Christian D. Casey.
