CLARIAH-AT: Early Career Förderungen
CLARIAH-AT aims to support early career researchers at MA and PhD level, who have little or no other funding opportunity, in carrying out research in the fields of Digital Humanities. The consortium regards the funding as an investment in the future of Digital Humanities in Austria. Currently, early career researchers can apply for software licenses or Transkribus credits required for their current papers and projects as well as for travel grants to actively participate in conferences or networking opportunities.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
Retrofuturism 4.0 (Online Symposium)
‘Retrofuturism’ is a term used to denote the ways in which internet aesthetics invoke visions of utopia and nostalgia. From vaporwave and hauntology to chiptune and frutiger aero, music, sound and audiovisual media have been central to these present-day entanglements of past and future possibility. Our past symposia have looked at microgenres, nostalgia, and anemoia. For our fourth symposium, held in association with the Nostagain Network, we turn to the issue of materiality.
Time and Place: 27.–28.08.2026, online

Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge (TGDK) Special Issue: Semantic Digital Humanities
Cultural Heritage (CH) and Digital Humanities (DH) research is characterized by interpretative plurality, evolving vocabularies, highly contextual knowledge, and diverse source materials. Supporting the analysis, integration, and interpretation of this complex data requires structured, machine-understandable representations and advanced computational methods. Semantic Web technologies, e.g., ontologies and knowledge graphs, together with generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, offer powerful means to represent and explore cultural knowledge, while also raising new methodological and epistemological challenges. This special issue aims to advance research at the intersection of Semantic Web technologies, AI, and Digital Humanities by bringing together conceptual, methodological, and technical contributions.
Deadline: 31.01.2027
