This year's DH_BUDAPEST_2022 aims to explore the theme of networks and networking.

The network as a metaphor has long been a tool for conceptualizing phenomena in the humanities, but with the emerging availability of digital and digitized datasets, it has also become a tool for quantitative data analysis and visualization. Today, the concepts of network and networking are widely used in humanities-related research, ranging from the exploration of semantic structures to the circulation of ideas, people, and artifacts to patterns of institutional collaboration. Furthermore, researchers have raised new questions of self-reflection in the humanities concerning the epistemological reasons for and implications of using tools and techniques developed in the natural sciences.
