Building on the University of Oxford’s history of leadership in digital scholarship, its globally significant collections, and its diverse array of projects and practitioners, Digital Scholarship at Oxford (DiSc) is an initiative to explore, enhance, and enable work in this field. By building capacity, growing community, and enriching engagement with collections, the initiative will help to unlock the University’s latent potential to produce internationally significant, innovative and engaging digital research.

DiSc’s mission, therefore, encompasses

> building capacity for the adoption and adaption of digital methods to enhance research, ask new questions, and produce research outputs;

> increasing and enhancing the use of the University’s collections in digital research; and,

> fostering communities around approaches, software, and tools, emphasising training, developing and sharing, and collaboration with others.

Registration opens in February 2005.
