You are cordially invited to submit your contributions. The theme of this year's series is “Make Data Visible!” and focuses on the innovative application of modern digital methods that address resources and techniques in various areas of ancient studies. We particularly welcome proposals that demonstrate how these technologies can be used to answer both disciplinary and cross-cutting questions.

Presentations may address topics related to accessing and deepening the understanding of ancient cultural heritage, such as Data Visualization, Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Science Communication, and more. Other new ideas are very welcome! With this call for papers, we especially encourage young researchers to present their thematically relevant research for discussion.

Proposals of 300-500 words (excluding references) can be submitted in PDF format by midnight (CEST) on 31 August 2024 at https://nubes.bbaw.de/s/mJRW6mQo74Snjxa. (Please note: There is no direct confirmation after the upload.) Please include your contact details on the otherwise blank first page. Your abstract of the planned presentation can be submitted in either German or English, as both languages are the working languages of the seminar. Please let us know if the same presentation has already been submitted to other seminars or conferences.

The seminars will take place fortnightly on Tuesdays from 16:15 to 17:45 CET, from October 2024 to February 2025. The full programme will be announced in due time before the beginning of the semester. Lecturers will receive support for travel and accommodation costs as much as possible. More information will be provided when the programme is published. We prefer speakers to attend in person if possible, but digital presentations are also welcome. The seminar will be conducted in a hybrid format.
