Going digital

18 January 2013 to 31 July 2013

Going Digital is a unique training programme aimed at doctoral students who are new to digital research and who want to learn more.

It is delivered in iconic spaces – archives, galleries, heritage sites, media labs and universities – by experts who have hands-on experience in setting up digital humanities projects.

Going Digital is funded by the AHRC and run by CHASE – the Consortium of Humanities and Arts South East - formed to deliver outstanding postgraduate training in the Arts and Humanities across the south-east of England. CHASE has seven members: The Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths (University of London), the Open University, and the Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent, and Sussex.
