SOCIAL PROGRAM
The DH Benelux 2026 Conference Dinner will take place on Thursday 4 June in the FASoS garden at Maastricht University. Designed as an informal standing dinner rather than a traditional sit‑down event, it will feature a variety of food trucks, drinks and cocktails, and live music generated from DH data, creating a distinctly digital‑humanities atmosphere. At €45 per person, the dinner offers high‑quality food and a relaxed setting that encourages networking across projects, institutions, and countries, as well as plenty of space to continue conversations from the day’s sessions.
Highlights: A Digital Humanities Benelux themed photo booth and your chance to hear the sound of your own paper!
At the DH Benelux conference dinner, music won’t just be played, it will be generated from research data.
Saxophonist and composer Julia Warren will be joined by double bassist Lea Maria Lingen for a live performance in the FASoS garden. Together, they will improvise as “acoustic computers,” transforming data from submitted research papers into music, with input from the audience.
Both musicians are experienced improvisers who have performed internationally across a wide range of styles, bringing a unique and experimental approach to this evening.
This will be part of the conference dinner on Thursday, 4 June 2026 , an informal evening with food, drinks, and space to connect across the DH community.
