DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Programs:
Bilateral Symposia and Workshops
This program, representing a partnership between NEH and the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft or DFG), supports digital humanities projects and encourages collaboration between American and German researchers.

The Bilateral Symposia and Workshops program supports workshops attended by American and German scholars, scientists, and librarians. The workshops enable participants to put plans in place for later, large-scale digital humanities projects. The program also helps strengthen partnerships between American and German researchers.

HW-50009, New York University:
Epigraphic Interoperability Workshops.
A 2009 grant will enable New York University (NYU) and Heidelberg University to hold workshops on developing interoperability—the capacity to use information stored in different places—for important digital resources dedicated to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Both NYU and Heidelberg recognize that essential digital collections and resources are being developed to support the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. However, these collections are often developed in isolation without a technical plan enabling users to search across collections or examine an item alongside materials from other collections. This workshop will bring together experts in the field to develop a solid plan to ensure the international interoperability of these digital resources.

HW-50001, University of Virginia:
Digital Music Notation Data Model and Prototype Delivery System.
A 2009 grant will enable the University of Virginia and the University of Paderborn to hold workshops on developing methods, standards, and software for a scholarly music notation system. These new standards will create a protocol for digitizing scores and posting them online, allowing music scholars to easily locate, search, and manipulate the scores. The workshops will involve leading musicologists and technologists from the U.S. and Germany, who will work to create an international standard for scholarly music notation.
