UvA-VU cooperation in Digital Humanities granted

As a part of the Amsterdam Academic Alliance (AAA), the UvA and VU recently awarded 3 million euros for the new Data Science research program. Within this project, UvA researchers Rens Bod (FNWI&FGW) and Julia Noordegraaf (FGW) together with VU researchers landed a project entitled "Quality and Perspectives in Deep Data". In this project a *longue durée* perspective on data will be developed. Two postdocs will be jointly appointed at the University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam. These postdocs will develop tools to research respectively the long-term changes in cultural expressions (1600-2000), and the identification of factors that affect the quality of textual sources.
