5th International Summer School for Young Researchers in Historical Informatics: Current Trends in Interdisciplinary Approaches.

The article contains information about the 5th International Summer School for Young Scholars in Historical Informatics and summarizes its outcomes. Summer schools in this field have been held since 2021 in an online format. The 5th school involved more than 150 students, graduate students, and young scholars representing universities and research institutions from Russia and neighboring countries. The organizers of the school are the Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Association of Researchers in Historical Informatics (AIC). The goal of the school is to familiarize participants with the latest trends in the application of information/digital technologies, data analysis methods, and artificial intelligence technologies in historical research, and to form a modern understanding of data and methods of processing them within the field of historical science. The program of the school included four full working days. On the lecture day, June 26, six lectures on current issues in historical informatics were delivered. In the master classes on June 27 and 28, participants had the opportunity to gain practical skills in working with specific methods of processing historical data and relevant software. On June 29, the final day of the school, a plenary session took place, discussing the issue of open data in the humanities. It was noted that the situation with open data in Russia remains complex, and even more so concerning the humanities. Regarding historical data, most of it has a local character, almost all produced within specific historical research; projects for creating open data for broad use in academic research are virtually nonexistent. In conclusion, a general discussion was held on issues related to the organization of the school's work, its program, and outcomes. An increasing activity of young scholars in studying modern trends in historical research related to historical informatics was noted.
