The International Max Planck Research School for Multimodal Digital Humanities (IMPRS-MDH) is a new doctoral school jointly established by the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History (BHMPI) in Rome and the Faculty of Art and Social Sciences (PhF) of the University of Zurich (UZH), funded by the Max Planck Society (MPG) for six years. Building on pioneering research at the MPG-UZH Digital Visual Studies center (DVS), the IMPRS-MDH opens a new field at the crossroads of art and architectural history, linguistics, and multimodal artificial intelligence.
