The Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT) is a Marie Sk odowska-Curie EU-Funded 7th Framework Programme. During the grant period (2013- 2017), twelve Early Stage Research Fellows and five Experi- enced Research Fellows engage with questions and tensions surrounding the evolving theory and practices of digital scholarly editing. As our projects draw to a close we are reflecting critically on how we have examined and contributed to the changing nature of digital textual scholarship. With access being such a pertinent issue to the field of digital textual scholarship, we hope to stimulate a lively and productive conversation with the audience around these interrelated themes.
