ABSTRACT
The introduction of computing methodologies into the humanities has brought about significant changes both in the scope of humanities research and in the way that research is to be carried out. In general, the emergence and development of interdisciplinary research in the humanities has been accompanied and/or supported by the emergence and development of various forms of collaboration in the past decades. This chapter shows how digital humanities (DH) can contribute to advances in other research fields and also, vice versa, how it can benefit from traditionally "remote" disciplines. Today's technology allows us to disseminate knowledge to a much wider audience than is possible in a traditional classroom setting. The idea that culture and technology could organically meet, sharing the approach of DH, was further developed in Leipzig where the first Summer Schools in Culture and Technology were held in the summers of 2009 and 2010.
