The Antwerp Summer School in Digital Humanities builds on the University of Antwerp's strong tradition of organizing training events through the platform{DH} since 2014. In 2018, these evolved in an official Summer School, organized in association with the Antwerp Summer University. The Summer School is now an official part of the curriulum of the University's MA in Literature and Linguistics, and allows students to earn 3 or 6 ECTS credits – depending on whether they successfully complete an additional assignment after the summer school.

An intense and versatile introduction to text editing and coding. Shows a different side to literature which can spark interest in those who wish to work in editing or for editing houses.
