Workshop LLMs 2

Methodological reflections and practical applications of LLMs for the Social Sciences and Humanities – afternoon session

📅 27 November 2025
📍 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (exact room TBA)
🕘 09:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00
💸 Fee: free! but registration is required (limited places)

Please note: If you want to attend the entire day, make sure to also register for the morning session via LLMs 1.

This workshop is explicitly targeted towards researchers in humanities and social sciences. The morning session does not require any prior knowledge. The second session in the afternoon is hands-on and technical where we will run through a prepared notebook on Google Colab together (so you will need an account on https://colab.google/). Experience with Python and Jupyter notebooks is recommended for this second part.
