Summary

The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites you to its annual conference, at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NOVA FCSH), Lisbon, Portugal, July 14-18, 2025.

Description

Whether you’re an experienced digital humanist, a policy-maker, or new to the field, DH2025 is the ideal platform to engage, network, and shape the future of Open Science and digital humanities practices.

Building access and accessibility, open science to all citizens

Since the 2002 Budapest Open Access Declaration, the movement for more equitable access to research has grown, evolving into broader frameworks such as Open Science and Open Scholarship. These approaches emphasize not only free access but also ethical and technical considerations related to data, infrastructure, and collaboration. Through international and institutional policies, efforts are being made to enhance transparency, inclusion, and public participation in scientific knowledge.

Within this context, digital humanities play a key role by using digital tools to democratize access, engage communities, and respond to societal challenges.
