The summer school is organized by the UNESCO Chair on Digital Methods for the Humanities and Social Sciences as part of the Horizon Europe project ATRIUM, with the cooperation of the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton and the Athena Research Centre, and will take place at the Athens University of Economics and Business in Athens, Greece.
