International Max Planck Research School for Multimodal Digital Humanities (IMPRS-MDH)

The IMPRS-MDH is a six-years international doctoral school based on a new field of AI-driven multimodal research in image-text relations from the perspective of art history and linguistics.

The IMPRS-MDH is one of currently 66 International Max Planck Research Schools. Their mission is to support interdisciplinary research of graduate students under excellent scientific conditions made possible by the cooperation of Max Planck Institutes with Higher Education Institutions.

The IMPRS-MDH is a collaboration between the Max Planck Society (MPG) and the University of Zurich (UZH), more specifically between

the Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max-Planck-Institute for Art History (BHMPI):

• Department Art of the Modern Age in a Global Context
• Max Planck Research Group Machine Visual Culture

and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (PhF):

• Department of German and Scandinavian Studies (DS), Chair for German Linguistics
• Department of Art History (KHIST), Professorship for the History of Early Modern Art.

The IMPRS-MDH emerges from Digital Visual Studies (DVS), a six-years research collaboration funded by the MPG and hosted by the UZH since 2020. With the support of senior researchers and institutional services of both institutions, the new IMPRS aims at expanding DVS' scope and establishing multimodal digital humanities at the crossroads of art history and linguistics.
