Dear colleagues, the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) is pleased to announce the "Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities 2024", from 8 to 12 July. # Purpose of the School The Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities provides advanced and in-depth training in theories, technologies and methods applied to historical monuments, artefacts and texts.
