Between 7th and 12th September, the Summer School in Digital Humanities and IT took place in Borovets, Bulgaria. It was organized in the framework of the Technological Ecosystems in the Humanities Research Programme of the Centre of Excellence in the Humanities to the St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia. This is the fourth of a series of events on the same topic that have been organized by the Digital Humanities research team at the CEH to the University since 2013.
More than 40 people were selected for participation in the two sections, among which graduate and doctoral students, young and advanced scholars from different academic institutions in over 10 countries.
The event was preceded by a public lecture at University of Sofia of the trainers in the IT section, Prof. Eduardo Miranda and Dr. Matthew Bass from the Carnegie Mellon University of Pittsburgh, USA. Prof. Miranda presented the new and popular process of software development currently gaining popularity under the name of 'design thinking'. Dr. Bass reviewed today's distributed software systems. Both lecturers attracted a significant audience of academic researchers and software developers and their presentations provoked the interest not only of research specialists in the field of IT but also of the business.
