CONFERENCE
Start date: Monday 1 March 2027

Time: 17:30
Location: Umeå University

We are pleased to announce that our node Humlab at Umeå University, Sweden's oldest, and one of the first digital humanities (DH) labs in Europe, will be host for the DHNB conference, March 1–5, 2027!

The theme for the conference is Human(ities) in the Loop. It draws on the concept of “human in the loop,” which highlights the role of humans in AI development, but broadens the perspective to include the importance of the humanities in technological and societal systems. The focus is on the loops and structures in which the humanities are inherently embedded, whether before, during, or beyond the age of AI.

“Through this theme, we want to emphasize how humans and the humanities play a central role in technological development,” say Evelina Liliequist and Coppélie Cocq.

Warmly welcome to Umeå/Ubmeje, March 2027!
