The ATRIUM Summer School 2027: Artificial Intelligence for the Humanities is inviting applications from students and researchers interested in applying artificial intelligence and computational methods to humanities and social science research. The programme will be hosted by Charles University in Prague, Czechia, from July 12 to July 23, 2027.
The summer school focuses on the technological foundations of AI, text analysis, data processing, statistics, and practical applications of AI in humanities research. The course is free of charge, while eligible participants can receive reimbursement for accommodation and economy-class travel, along with a daily per diem. The application deadline is November 30, 2026.
The ATRIUM Summer School is designed to make artificial intelligence more accessible to researchers and students working in the humanities and social sciences. Rather than focusing only on theoretical concepts, the programme combines foundational AI knowledge with practical data analysis and computational research skills.
Participants will explore how available data can be processed and used to address real-world research problems. A particular emphasis is placed on text analysis, while participants will also work with the R programming system and learn how to navigate technical literature related to AI and computational methods.

The ATRIUM Summer School does not charge a course fee. In addition, eligible participants can receive financial support for expenses associated with attending the programme.
Individual accommodation expenses can be reimbursed up to 2,000 Czech koruna per day, while economy-class travel expenses can be reimbursed up to €600, subject to the programme's reimbursement conditions and proof of payment. Participants also receive a daily per diem of 933 Kč to help cover meal expenses.
Meals themselves are not provided directly by the organisers. Applicants should also note that medical insurance is not provided, so participants should arrange appropriate insurance themselves before travelling to Czechia.
The summer school introduces participants to AI methods that can be applied to research in humanities and social science disciplines.
The programme includes:
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
AI applications in humanities research
Text analysis
R programming
Systematic data processing
Statistical analysis
Working with real-world datasets
Understanding technical AI literature
Introduction to neural networks
Computational approaches to humanities and social science research
By combining theory with practical work, the programme aims to help participants understand how computational and AI techniques can be incorporated into their own research projects.
The ATRIUM Summer School is intended for students and researchers in the arts, humanities and social sciences who are interested in experimenting with artificial intelligence and computational research methods.
Applicants should be motivated to explore AI, including neural networks, and are expected to have:
Basic proficiency in the R programming system
Elementary knowledge of systematic data processing
Elementary knowledge of statistical analysis
An interest in applying AI to humanities or social science research
The technical prerequisites are important because participants will work with data and computational methods during the programme.
The ATRIUM Summer School 2027 will take place at Charles University in Prague, Czechia. The programme is scheduled for July 12–23, 2027, providing an intensive two-week academic experience.
The programme is connected with ATRIUM's Transnational Access activities, which support international access to research and training opportunities. ATRIUM's official information states that its summer-school opportunities are part of its TNA activities.
Applicants should complete the online application for the ATRIUM Summer School before the closing date. Before applying, candidates should review the programme requirements and make sure they have the expected background in R, data processing and basic statistics.
Because the programme focuses on the application of AI to humanities and social science research, applicants should also be prepared to explain their academic or research interest in using computational methods.
Candidates should carefully follow the official application instructions and provide accurate academic and personal information. Supporting information and evaluation criteria should be checked through the ATRIUM application process before submission.
The application deadline for the ATRIUM Summer School 2027 is November 30, 2026. The programme itself will take place from July 12 to July 23, 2027, in Prague, Czechia.
Applicants are encouraged to prepare their applications early, particularly because the programme has specific technical prerequisites related to R programming, data processing and statistics.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used across academic research, including fields outside traditional computer science. The ATRIUM Summer School provides students and researchers in humanities and social sciences with an opportunity to learn how AI and computational methods can be applied to their own disciplines.
The combination of a free course, travel reimbursement, accommodation support and a daily per diem can also reduce the financial cost of participating in an international academic programme.
Participants can also gain practical experience with R, text analysis, data processing and AI concepts that may be useful for future academic research or interdisciplinary projects.
The ATRIUM Summer School 2027 in Czechia offers a specialised learning opportunity for students and researchers interested in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, humanities and social sciences. Hosted at Charles University in Prague, the two-week programme will introduce participants to AI foundations, text analysis, R programming, data processing and related computational techniques.
The course is free, while eligible participants can receive reimbursement of up to €600 for economy travel, accommodation support of up to 2,000 Kč per day, and a 933 Kč daily per diem. Medical insurance is not included.
Interested applicants should review the official programme information and submit their applications before the November 30, 2026 deadline. Apply Now
