getting to know hamburg

As there are now merely three weeks to go before the DH2012 takes place at the University of Hamburg we would like to give you some clues about what awaits you. However, this is not about the conference as such and all the related stuff you already read about on the informative pages of our website. This is more about atmosphere, culture and the art of living in Hamburg.

400+ @DH2012 !

We’ve just crossed another threshhold: DH 2012 has now more than 400 registrations! So we’ve already had to switch the opening plenary to the Ernst-Cassirer Lecture Hall, which can seat 622 digital humanists.

(Next step: the soccer arena with 51.750 capacity?) – Well, the conference team is looking forward to your visit and excited about this tremendous response!

bootcamp@DH2012

We’re happy to announce that the 12th Interedition bootcamp will be taking place alongside the Digital Humanities 2012! The focus of this bootcamp is on tools and practices related to “digital collaboration” in all its forms. More information on Interedition bootcamps and the full call for participation can be found here.

DH 2012 sports programme

For those of you who would like to follow up on their sports schedule while in Hamburg we have prepared some great options for you: We can highly recommend the Alster run -Hamburg’s most famous jogging course around the outer Alster lake. If you prefer indoor sports, we have arranged free access to the Hamburg University gym and thanks to the Hochschulsport Hamburg we are able to offer Spinning, Morning Fitness and Dynamic Yoga in the morning.
