The Volkswagen Foundation offers up to 40 Travel Grants for young researchers who wish to attend the conference.
One project – three slides – three minutes!
Our objective is to present new research questions and / or new methodological or technological approaches arising from digital humanities and by this challenging the traditional humanist perspective. The question is: What specific value does your project add to the digital humanities?
Presentation and Poster
Recipients of the travel grants are required to present their project in a three minutes "Lightening Talk" as well as on a poster in a poster session. Powerpoint, etc. can be used, but limit yourself to max. three slides. Every presenter has only three minutes to present his / her project.

As a general rule, researchers eligible for the travel grant are Ph.D. students, Postdocs or Assistant Professors.
