Dear colleagues,
We are excited to welcome you to the 2027 edition of the Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries (DHNB) conference in Umeå, Sweden. DHNB is a forum for cross-border collaboration in digital scholarship, bringing together participants from academia and cultural heritage institutions across the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.
The submission deadline is approaching, and we invite you to submit your abstract by 30 October 2026.
With DHNB2027, the theme Human(ities) in the Loop emphasizes not only our disciplines’ long tradition of methods that do indeed put many different kinds of “humans” in the loop, but also the many loops that our disciplines study, before and beyond AI.
We particularly welcome contributions that reflect on the role of the humanities in understanding not only AI-related changes, but also transformations driven by digital perspectives, methods and practices, in particular how they impact and influence our everyday life, teaching and research practices.
Submission deadline: 30 October 2026
Conference dates: 1-5 March 2027
Location: Umeå University, Sweden
DHNB2027 is hosted by Humlab at Umeå University in collaboration with DIGSUM.

Best regards,
The DHNB2027 Organising Committee through
