I'm excited to bring together students, researchers and technical professionals in digital humanities for a week of collaborating, networking and learning together. It's so rewarding to see where people go next!

Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School comes to King's in 2025
Applications are now open for the Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School 2025, a four-day intensive programme designed for students, researchers and professionals looking to enhance their technical and collaborative skills.
The summer school will take place from 30 June to 3 July 2025 at King’s and is co-organised by the King’s Digital Lab, Cambridge Digital Humanities, and Edinburgh Centre for Data, Culture & Society, in collaboration with the DISKAH project. Speakers and trainers from the Department of Digital Humanities, King's Digital Lab and e-Research will join those from other institutions around the UK. Participants will engage with expert-led presentations, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, covering topics such as high-performance computing, the software development life cycle, and responsible digital research practices.
Now in its latest edition, the programme continues to attract postgraduate students, academic researchers, and professionals eager to deepen their understanding of digital research tools and methodologies.
I particularly liked the immersed environment to collaborate with team members and speak out freely to discuss with lecturers.

In addition to the core programme, an optional workshop, "Building your digital research skills with Programming Historian", will be held on 4 July. This session will be open to a limited number of Faculty colleagues who are not taking part in the summer school itself, offering further opportunities for engagement.
