The Mainz Centre for Digitality in the Humanities and Cultural Studies, mainzed, is an open network pooling digital expertise at the scientific location Mainz.
mainzed is actively working in research, teaching and the transfer of knowledge. In doing so, it
connects the regional network of competence to current research in the field of digital
humanities.
Each year, information on the activities of mainzed are provided within the annual
report on 31 July (2015-2016, 2016-2017, 2017-2018)
You can find information, presentations and white papers of mainzed here
We conduct
research on the key questions of the humanities and on
the cultural heritage from a digital perspective.
We develop
study programmes for students and advanced training
opportunities in digital methods primarily aimed at postgraduates and young researchers.
We support
researchers in using digital methods for their research.
mainzed offers a network of scientific exchange with regard to the development of projects and research foci for scientists of all qualification levels. The network is formed by organising and realising public events together.
With various public events, mainzed encourages the broadening and consolidation of the network. Information about our own events and plans are published via Mastodon in German. Alternatively, you can subscribe to the RSS-Feed feed.
A specific Masters Program is a prerequisite for a long-term establishment of digitality in the humanities
and cultural studies in Mainz.
To accomplish this, mainzed took the leading role in designing and
accrediting a new study program called »Digital methodology in the humanities and cultural studies«, which
will be jointly offered by two universities in Mainz.

infrastructure, our spectrum spans digital methods in the area of spatial humanities, natural language
