CLARIAH-AT aims to support junior researchers at MA and PhD level, who have little or no other funding opportunity, in carrying out research in the fields of Digital Humanities. The consortium regards the funding as an investment in the future of Digital Humanities in Austria. Currently, junior researchers can apply for software licenses or credits for the service Transkribus required for their current papers and projects as well as travel grants to actively participate in conferences or networking opportunities.
Transkribus Scholarships
With a Transkribus CLARIAH-AT scholarship junior researchers in the area of Digital Humanities based in Austria can get free credit packages for (handwritten) text recognition of their thesis and individual project (without 3rd party funding).
Please send us a short description about the project you are working on as well as some background information about yourself using the application form on the Transkribus Website. The data as well as the research results of the project should be made available and reusable long-term to the Digital Humanities research community.
License Pool for Software
Software licenses for research in the field of Digital Humanities are often expensive. With this grant, the consortium aims to support young scholars who need specific software for the implementation of their research work but do not receive funding for this through their university or place of work. If you are working on such a project, please fill out the following form to give us a brief overview of your project and yourself and send it to: software@clariah.at.
