The CLS INFRA project has officially concluded. After four transformative years, our work in building infrastructure for computational literary studies is complete. Thank you for being part of this journey!

On my way back from #DH2025 to Montreal with some merch, thanks to @clsinfra.bsky.social! (Please no comment on my general appearance and tired eyes, I got to the airport around 5am...) I was really impressed by the state of computational literary studies in Europe!

🥳👏

@clsinfra.bsky.social - Delighted to see CLS INFRA people winning the Antonio Zampolli Prize at #DH2025! Congratulations Maciej Eder, @joannaby.bsky.social, @artjomshl.bsky.social, Rozalia Słodczyk and the rest of the Computational Stylistics Group!

Evgeniia Fileva presents CLS INFRA research at yesterday’s “Comparative Literature Goes Digital” #DH2025 Mini-Conference dls.hypotheses.org/1952

Not had enough of #CCLS2025 yet? Next year is already our fifth anniversary! Get excited for #CCLS2026 in Potsdam! @dhpotsdam.bsky.social 🥳 #ComputationalLiteraryStudies #CLS #DH #LiteraryComputing

Our Closing Event may have concluded, but CLS INFRA members continue to present project work at CCLS! @jcls-io.bsky.social Here’s Bartek Kunda with our project poster, while Maciej Eder delivered the conference keynote yesterday.

Final talk for today at #CCLS2025: Maciej Eder giving the #keynote on "Text Analysis Made Simple (Kind of), or Ten Years of Stylo" 🎂🥳 He underlines the necessity of having a good infrastructure to make research in computational literary studies possible. Thanks go out to @clsinfra.bsky.social.

A stellar lineup for our final panel discussion on The Future of Computational Literary Studies: Jennifer Edmond, Julie Birkholz, Artjoms Šeļa, and Karina van Dalen-Oskam, chaired by Joanna Byszuk.

…of course, some were better-dressed than others.

Thank you to those who joined us today for the CLS INFRA Closing Event!

It's truly inspiring to hear how the CLS INFRA Transnational Access Fellowship has helped to support & develop such a wide range of groundbreaking research. To learn more about more than FIFTY researchers who benefited from our project's support, visit our TNA Archive: clsinfra.io/opportunitie...

The final TNA Fellow to present this afternoon is @marko-milosev.bsky.social of the European University Institute, who visited UNED Madrid in 2023 to work on his research on ideology and violence in interwar fascist organisations.

@laurasoffiantini.bsky.social of KU Leuven now presents on her research on formulaic language in Latin funerary epigraphy; she visited Ghent University for a TNA Fellowship early in our project.

For the first talk after lunch, @jakmen.bsky.social of MLU Halle-Wittenberg presents her work on nineteenth-century literary multilingualism, developed during a TNA Fellowship at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

More poetry! (One can never have enough). Anna Mędrzecka-Stefańska of the Polish Academy of Sciences discusses her TNA Fellowship at Charles University where she worked on a corpus of Polish poetry.

Simone Marcenaro, Università del Molise, trialled using LLM technologies for translations of Galician-Portuguese Troubador poetry while visiting University of Galway, and its Crosswinds project, for his TNA Fellowship.

Lucas Van der Deijl, University of Groningen, spent his TNA Fellowship at University of Potsdam where he contributed a corpus of 150 early-modern Dutch plays to @dracor.org: dracor.org/dutch

First up is Maria-Corina Dimitriu, University of Iasi, whose TNA visit to Trier University to research stylometric methods for studying Romanian literature was her introduction to digital humanities methods.

The next two panels of the CLS INFRA Closing Event will see presentations from several of our Transnational Access Fellowship recipients. It's wonderful to hear how the project has supported developing research in computational literary studies! clsinfra.io/closing-event/

Discussion of the first panel highlighted how CLS INFRA can reach beyond academia. Our project addressed this issue via a deliverable by Jennifer Edmond & Vera Yakupova and a series of infographics by @sjhoover.bsky.social clsinfra.io/resources/be... zenodo.org/records/1278...

On a similar topic, remember that you can find a large archive of our project's formal deliverables, as well as a wide range of other resources, in our Zenodo community: zenodo.org/communities/...

Marco describes the CLS INFRA YouTube channel as a "very rich resource": agreed! Visit to see recordings of events, presentation, interviews with TNA Fellows and much more: www.youtube.com/@clsinfra686...

Marco Raciti of @dariaheu.bsky.social talks to us about the project’s Transnational Access scheme, which was key to introducing researchers to our work: clsinfra.io/opportunitie...

Julie Birkholz of Ghent University introduces us to the place of NLP within CLS INFRA. WP8’s first report surveyed the extensive landscape: zenodo.org/records/1429...

@christof.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy, Trier University, is next up, discussing the methodical focus of WP3, and our amazing resource, the Survey of Methods for CLS: clsinfra.io/resources/d3...

@danja.bsky.social, University of Potsdam & @dracor.org, our first presenter to sport a fashionable CLS INFRA t-shirt, discusses the work of WP7 on programmable corpora: zenodo.org/records/7664...

Artjoms Šeļa, Institute of Czech Literature, introduces the CLS INFRA Skills Gap Analysis, which he completed with former project colleague, Lisanne Van Rossum, Huygens Institute, pictured here photobombing the grave of Wincenty Lutosławski, the founders of stylometry zenodo.org/records/6401...

And our Closing Event begins with CLS INFRA Principal Investigator, Maciej Eder of the Polish Academy of Sciences, giving us an introduction to the field of Computational Literary Studies.

Our host, Jan Rybicki of Jagiellonian University welcomes CLS INFRA to Krakow and opens our Closing Event: clsinfra.io/closing-event/

July is here and so is #CCLS2025! ☀️ Starting on Thursday, we’re ready for two days of 🔥 hot research in #ComputationalLiteraryStudies. Don’t worry about the heat: the science is hot, the conference room is air-conditioned. 😎 See you in Kraków (or online)! 👉 Don’t forget the hashtag: #CCLS2025

Btw, I created the Bluesky feed "CLS in DH/NLP". It collects posts containing the keywords: #CLS, #CCLS, #JCLS, #CCLS2025, CLS INFRA, Literary Computing, SPP-CLS, Computational Literary Studies, Cultural Analytics, Digital Literary Studies, etc. 👉 Feel free to like and share

Remember to register for our Closing Event on 2 July: in-person and online participation options are available!

Are you a humanities researcher with an interest in Network Analysis? If so, book your place on our forthcoming online workshop exploring networks in literary and historical research, with case studies, tool demonstrations, and hand-on practice.
