Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take 
the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. 
The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10.

As in former years we are able to offer a whole range of scholarships 
and fellowships to participants of the Summer University (see 
http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/919).

The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over 
Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young 
scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, 
Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal 
partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in 
a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions 
for future project-based cooperations.

The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only seeks to 
offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, 
skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a 
central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more 
and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well 
as in publishing, libraries, and archives etc., but because it tries to 
integrate also linguistics with the Digital Humanities, which pose 
questions about the consequences and implications of the application of 
computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds.

It is special furthermore because it consciously aims at confronting the 
so-called Gender Divide , i.e. the under-representation of women in the 
domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany, 
Europe and many parts of the world, by relying on the challenges that 
the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women 
represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further 
development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the 
so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, 
Computer Science and Engineering.

As the Summer University is dedicated not only to the acquisition of 
knowledge and skills, but also wants to foster community building and 
networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and 
continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal 
coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and 
a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, 
museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of 
Leipzig).
