This is a joint training programme between the Charles University in Prague, Queen Mary University of London, the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Lyon, the University of Siena, and the library of the Klosterneuburg monastery. It takes place within the Erasmus+ Key Action 2: Strategic Partnership scheme. Thanks to the funding, all the expenses including travel and accommodation during the intensive courses at the partner institutions are fully covered for selected students.
The course will equip advanced MA and PhD students in medieval studies with the necessary skills to work in a digital environment, through a year-long programme on editing medieval manuscripts and their online publication. A rigorous introduction to medieval manuscripts and their analysis will be accompanied by formal training in ICT and project management. The end of each one-year programme will see the students initiated into practical work-experience alongside developers, as they will work on their own digital editions, leading to its online publication. This will enhance the students’ skill-set and the employability opportunities which ensue from it.
