HumInfra Conference 2025: Resources and Tools for Digital Human Sciences
On November 12-13, Stockholm University will host nearly 100 researchers for the HumInfra Conference 2025. Expect two focused days on tools, methods, and infrastructure that make digital human science research more effective and compliant.
If you work in HR, science, research management, or support roles, this matters. It's where policy, tooling, ethics, and practice meet - with demos you can actually apply in your organization.
What HumInfra is
HumInfra is a national research infrastructure built to share resources across experimental and digital human science. It includes tools for data collection, analysis, and processing, along with training, expertise, and equipment.
There are twelve nodes across Sweden. One of them is Digital Humanities (DHV) at Stockholm University. As organizer Harko Verhagen, professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences and head of the Digital Humanities unit, puts it: "Sharing resources between stakeholders is key."
Topics you can expect
- How to document AI use in human science research - what to track, how to report, and where it fits in your workflow
- Qualitative research with LLM chatbots (Large Language Model chatbots) - methods, limits, and reliability
- Standards for pseudonymization of research data - practical patterns that help you reduce risk without losing utility
- AI and multilingualism in teaching - real classroom use, feedback loops, and quality control
- Digital human science tools for investigating Swedish parliamentary debates
- Safe and legal data sharing across teams and borders
Format and expectations
Look for tool demonstrations with hands-on testing, concise presentations, and grounded discussions about current and near-future needs. AI will be front and center - including its limits and downsides - alongside the practicalities of secure data sharing.
Why this is useful for HR, science, and research leaders
- Policy: Clearer guidelines for AI disclosure and acceptable use in research and teaching
- Compliance: Practical pseudonymization approaches you can standardize across projects
- Procurement: A view of tools already working in Swedish and international contexts
- Training: Where to upskill researchers, lecturers, and support staff without guesswork
- Governance: Shared infrastructure that reduces duplication and lowers risk
Organizer insight
According to Harko Verhagen, the conference will present resources available at HumInfra nodes, show how they support research in Sweden and beyond, and map resource needs for the near future. Expect a practical conversation about tools, data sharing, and what's coming next.
