Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 eScience Center-Lorentz Competition

Updated on 26 August 2024: workshop dates
8-12 September 2025: Enriching Digital Heritage with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Linked Open Data (LOD)
15-19 September 2025: Paradata in 3D Scholarship
Earlier this year, the Netherlands eScience Center and the Lorentz Center invited researchers to apply to the eScience Center-Lorentz Competition 2024 for resources to organize two cutting-edge workshops on Innovation in Digital Heritage Research. The workshops bring together researchers and experts from the academic community and the public/private sector. The competition was strong again this year, but we are thrilled to announce the two winners:
Paradata in 3D Scholarship: Intellectual Transparency and Scholarly Argumentation in Digital Heritage
Isto Huvila, Uppsala University, Sweden
Trilce Navarete, Erasmus University of Rotterdam, Netherlands
Costas Papadopoulos, Maastricht University, Netherlands
Vincent Rossi, The Smithsonian, US
Kira Zumkley, Victoria and Albert Museum, UK
AND
Enriching Digital Heritage with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Linked Open Data (LOD)
Arno Bosse, The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), Netherlands
Rossana Damiano, University of Turin, Italy
Leif Isaksen, University of Exeter, UK
Gethin Rees, British Library, UK
Tariq Yousef, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
Workshop with support
The winners will each organize a Lorentz Center workshop (Snellius location), with a budget of €15,000 for hotel, travel and lunch. In addition, they will receive 460 hours of support from Research Software Engineers (RSEs) from the Netherlands eScience Center.
We look forward to co-hosting these intriguing and challenging workshops next year at the Lorentz Center.
The Lorentz Center and the Netherlands eScience Center thank all applicants who took the time to submit their proposals.
