Events. Large Language Models for the Social Sciences and Humanities

On 30 November 2026, from 10:00 to 19:00 (CET), the “Symposium on Large Language Models and the Social Sciences and Humanities: Research, Resources and Infrastructures” will take place at the University of Porto in Portugal and online.

The use of large language models in social sciences and humanities research opens up new methodological horizons, while also prompting a fresh appraisal of established research methods and the limits of emerging technologies. Ensuring the reliability, transparency, and reproducibility of research requires openly accessible resources, appropriate tools, and high-quality research infrastructure.

• ● Large language models in the social sciences and humanities;
• ● Large language models as research tools;

• ● Large language models, language, and meaning;
• ● Data and research resources;
• ● Ethical and societal implications;
• ● Critical perspectives on large language models;
• ● Research infrastructures and open science;
• ● Large language models and research practice.
