The Software Sustainability Institute, in partnership with King's College London, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Edinburgh, is pleased to announce the Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School 2026, taking place at the University of Manchester from Monday 29 June to Thursday 2 July 2026.

Attendance is free, and limited bursaries of up to £650 are available by application to support those who need financial assistance to attend.

Who should apply?

The Summer School is aimed at postgraduate students, researchers, academics, and technical professionals who use code and data in their work and are looking to engage more deeply with Research Software Engineering (RSE) practices. Participants from a wide range of disciplines are welcome — including history, literature, linguistics, archaeology, art history, musicology, cultural heritage, and many more. Some prior coding experience is desirable, though a computer science background is not required.
