We cordially invite researchers and scholars in the field of Digital Humanities (DH) to the 4th annual interdisciplinary conference “Humanities and Social Sciences from the Perspective of Digital Humanities,” which will take place on November 5th–6th, 2026, in Olomouc.

The conference is organized by the Department of Czech Studies, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc. DARIAH-SK is also participating in the organization through our partner—the Ľudovít Štúr Institute of Linguistics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The 2026 edition will build on the event’s successful tradition and once again provide an open space for discussion without a single overarching theme. The goal is to present diverse possibilities for the application of digital technologies not only in literary studies and linguistics but across all humanities and social science disciplines.
