(With apologies for cross-posting. Please circulate among anyone who may be interested, including students.) *EpiDoc Training Sessions 2009* London 20-24 July Rome 21-25 September The EpiDoc community has been developing protocols for the publication of inscriptions, papyri, and other documentary Classical texts in TEI-compliant XML: for details see the community website at http://epidoc.sf.net. (*Note:* the new Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri at http://papyri.info is encoded in EpiDoc XML.) Over the last few years there has been increasing demand for training by scholars wishing to use EpiDoc. We are delighted to be able to announce two training workshops, which will be offered in 2009. Both will be led by Dr Gabriel Bodard. These sessions will benefit scholars working on Greek or Latin documents with an interest in developing skills in the markup, encoding, and exploitation of digital editions. Competence in Greek and/or Latin, and knowledge of the Leiden Conventions will be assumed; no particular computer skills are required. *London session,* 20-24 July 2009. This will take place at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King’s College London, 26-29 Drury Lane. The cost of tuition will be £50 for students; £100 for employees of universities or other non-profit institutions; £200 for employees of commercial institutions. Those interested in enrolling should apply to Dr Bodard, [log in to unmask] by 20 June 2009. We hope to be able to offer some follow-up internships after the session, to enable participants to consolidate their experience under supervision; please let us know if that would be of interest to you. *Rome session,* 21-25 September 2009. This will take place at the British School at Rome. Thanks to the generous support of the International Association of Greek and Latin Epigraphy, the British School and Terra Italia Onlus, tuition will be free. Those interested in enrolling should apply to Dr Silvia Orlandi, [log in to unmask] by 30 June 2009. *Practical matters* Both courses will run from Monday to Friday starting at 10:00 am and ending at 16:00 each day. Participants should bring a wireless-enabled laptop. You should acquire and install a copy of the Oxygen XML Editor (http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor.html) *and* either an educational licence ($48) or a 30-day trial licence (free).
