A Summer School in the heart of digital and Humanities

Due to their rich and varied content, court records are the funds that are by far the most operated by researchers in Humanities and Social Sciences. Integrating data from these funds in a single database allows their content to be described and exploited.

However, these contents are often very heterogeneous. There are dates, names of people, functions (legal, administrative, political), places (domicile of people and institutions), objects (maps, plans, seals etc.). The sum of the contents must involve a discipline-specific analysis in Humanities and Social Sciences (economic, legal historical analysis,prosopography, geographical etc.).

Thus, the team designing a database from these heterogeneous elements is often hampered in the search for a suitable pattern and the development of a website to make it accessible.

The Leibniz Institute for European History (Mainz), the International Committee of the Red Cross and the University of Exeter announce the launch of the "Global Humanitarianism Research Academy", starting July 2015. The initiative is designed to offer training to young researchers in the field of human rights, international law or international relations.

Mission statement:

This international Research Academy will offer research training to a group of advanced international PhD candidates and early postdoctoral scholars selected by the steering committee. It will combine academic sessions at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz and the Imperial and Global History Centre at the University of Exeter with archival sessions at the Archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva. The Research Academy is open to early career researchers who are working in the related fields of humanitarianism,humanitarian law, peace and conflict studies as well as human rights covering the period from the 18^th to the 20^th centuries. It supports scholarship on the ideas and practices of humanitarianism in the context of international, imperial and global history thus advancing our understanding of global governance in humanitarian crises of the present.

 An official call will follow later on http://hhr.hypotheses.org/.
