Open Discussion Format with themed Tables

In a relaxed atmosphere and rotating small groups, we will explore the DH Day's guiding questions in a World Café format: To what extent do digital methods and AI reshape the roles of humanities scholars? How can the value of human interpretation be sustained going forward – and where might we be giving up too much autonomy? Do these questions affect not only scholarly practices, but also our infrastructures and the broader conditions of research? At several themed tables, all participants are invited to bring their own experiences, questions, and perspectives to the conversation.

15:00–15:15: Closing session
