The Digital Humanities Research Lab is a working group of PhD and postdoc researchers at UGent who are using digital methods in their teaching and research or who are interested in the digital. The group meets on a monthly basis to provide support to each other and to discuss the digital aspects of their own research or other happenings in the DH world. The Lab serves as a space to present work, address DH-related problems, to ask for advice, to network, and to learn about new DH approaches and opportunities. All PhD and postdoc researchers who have an interest in the digital—whether they apply digital methods in their research or not—are welcome to join.
