For its 10th anniversary in 2024, the annual convention of DHd (Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum) has chosen the motto DH Quo Vadis? Passau University hosts one full week of workshops and panels, the Closing the Gap team is part of the afternoon session on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 (panel V3_1: Texte und Sprache).

Jonas Müller-Laackman, project partner at Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl-von-Ossietzky,  with team members Theodore S. Beers  and M. Xenia Kudela present their ideas about a future handling of Non-Latin script data within the Digital Humanities.

Closing the Gap in Non-Latin-Script Data II aims to establish sustainable standards of research data management with scholarly work on cultures and records using Non-Latin Scripts. The project is hosted at the Seminar for Semitic and Arabic Studies of Freie Universität Berlin under direction of Beatrice Gruendler. CtG has received funding by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) since 2021, and now is one of three "Implementation Projects" of Objective 3–Advancing Research Quality and Value of the Berlin University Alliance granted a follow-up funding phase (2023-2026).
