MAIN FEATURES

A central and distinguishing feature of Areopagiticum is the prominence it gives to the Digital Humanities as a methodology for analyzing and processing text collections. This interdisciplinary approach emphasizes the use of advanced digital tools, particularly applied artificial intelligence.

In this regard, the foundation develops its own research programs and offers support to third parties in the implementation of machine learning and deep learning techniques, applying neural networks to analyze corpora that are linguistically, thematically or historically close to the Corpus Dionysiacum.

These programs include the production of:

 

  • Terminological correspondence models
  • Morphosyntactic concordances and correlations
  • Semantic proximity
  • Dendrograms and consensus trees
  • Tag clouds
  • Principal component analysis (PCA)
  • Topic modeling

Academic Collaboration

Areopagiticum members actively participate in academic events organized by third parties, where they present research advances related to the Corpus Dionysiacum and its legacy. In addition, the foundation holds and collaborates in the organization of conferences and symposia together with local and international universities, promoting discussion and academic exchange. 

Scholarships and Awards Program

The foundation’s Incentive Scholarship Program is aimed at scholars selected on the basis of their research merits on topics related to Dionysius the Areopagite. These scholarships cover travel expenses to participate in academic events, as well an annual award that recognizes outstanding research achievements on Dionysian topics, selected from among prestigious and peer-reviewed academic publications.

Non-Profit Commitment

All Areopagiticum activities are carried out on a non-profit basis, with the aim of encouraging the study and research on the work of Dionysius the Areopagite, promoting the advancement of knowledge in the field of study surrounding his work and legacy..
