Heidelberg Center for Digital Humanities

We combine expertise in the humanities with state-of-the-art technology. At the heart of our work lies the development and critical reflection on generative AI within the CAEDHET research group, as well as the integration of a wide range of academic disciplines. Our digital project directory showcases the breadth of digital humanities research in Heidelberg – from computer-assisted analysis to innovative knowledge transfer. In this way, we are actively shaping the digital future of academia.

Digital technology meets the humanities: The Heidelberg Centre for Digital Humanities (HCDH) is the hub for computer-assisted research at Heidelberg University. In the fields of digital linguistics, digital heritage and computational humanities, we are further developing methods in AI and data management. Together with strong partners from the fields of computer science and infrastructure, we are shaping the digital future of the humanities – in research, teaching and knowledge transfer.

Whether it’s practical workshops on ‘AI in practice’, subject-specific digital humanities training, or the interdisciplinary dialogue in ‘We’ve got the data – what now?’, the HCDH provides a space for exchange, skills development and critical discussion of digital research methods.
