Eight Digital Humanities projects at the PLUS funded by the state of Salzburg: Especially in Salzburg, as an internationally recognised hub for art and culture, the humanities, social sciences and cultural studies provide important, profile-building inspiration for the further development of culture, society and the economy. For this reason, the State of Salzburg, in coordination with the University, has announced the new “Digital Humanities” funding programme. Over a period of three years, the state of Salzburg will provide almost two million euros in funding.
