We are excited to announce that the 2027 edition of the Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries (DHNB) conference will be hosted by Umeå University, March 1–5, 2027.
The special theme of DHNB2027 is Human(ities) in the Loop and draws on the concept of “human in the loop”, that highlights the role of humans in the workflow of AI technologies, but broadens the perspective to better include the important role that the humanities play in understanding historical, contemporary technological and societal systems. With this theme, we encourage contributions that explore the role of the humanities and social sciences and place them at the center of technological development, rather than the other way around.
Conference dates: March 1–5, 2027 | Umeå, Sweden
CfP opens: August 31, 2026 | Submission deadline: October 16, 2026 |
The conference is organized by Humlab at Umeå University in collaboration with DIGSUM, Umeå University. For inquiries, please contact: dhnb2027.humlab@umu.se
