DARIAH-CH Tour de Suisse

DARIAH-CH goes on a tour of Swiss higher education institutions to inform about its mission and activities and makes a stop at the EPFL & UNIL on June 7th! The event provides an ideal opportunity to discover the European  “Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities” DARIAH, and its Swiss branch, DARIAH-CH. Switzerland is currently an observer of DARIAH and it will become a full member in June 2023. 

DARIAH’s mission is to empower research communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society. To reach this goal, DARIAH develops the following areas: (ii) training and education, (ii) working groups, (iii) tools and services, (iv) network, (v) sharing of knowledge, (vi) publishing, and (vii) a discovery platform for Social Sciences and Humanities. DARIAH-CH is a consortium of research institutions that aims at bringing together the Swiss Digital Humanities and Arts communities and supporting them in their research and infrastructural endeavours.

By getting actively involved in DARIAH-CH and DARIAH Europe, Swiss scholars benefit not only from an increased visibility of their assets (research projects, data, tools, methodologies, expertise, etc.) but also from a better access to European infrastructures and networks. Members of the consortium also profit from a greater involvement in European collaborative research projects, and from the access to numerous funding opportunities (workshops, summer schools, publishing grants, etc.).

The information session will take place online (link Zoom) on Wednesday June 7th at 12:30 and it will be given by Dr. Cristina Grisot, DARIAH-CH National Coordination Officer.
