Digital Research Infrastructure in Humanities and Arts - DARIAH

In parallel with the so-called humanities crisis, the field of digital humanities has been rapidly expanding since the beginning of the 21st century. There is still a critical debate going on about what DH is and whether we can talk about a new discipline at all, or it is just about a collaboration of two different fields - humanities and computing. Keeping out of these discussions, scientists and experts from different fields joined their efforts in the development and exploitation of the benefits of IT trends and new technological opportunities to advance humanities research and education. The idea of creating a pan-European digital research infrastructure for digital arts and humanities, aiming to ensure long-term accessibility and access to cultural and scientific information along with the support to researchers at all stages of the research process, officially began in 2006. DARIAH was included that year in the first Roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), and since 2014 has been established as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Guided by the principle “by researchers for researchers”, scientists themselves lead and supervise the development of their digital research environment. Today, DARIAH is the network of people, expertise, information, knowledge, content, methods, tools and technologies from its member countries with the mission to enhance and support digitally-enabled research and teaching across the arts and humanities. Croatia is one of the founding members and has been included in its development since the early preparatory phase (2007). The Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research in its role as a coordinating institution (since 2013) has under- taken many important activities. Among other things, it has positioned Croatia as a regional hub (DARIAH Western Balkan Hub) and the contact point for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro, so today it is fostering cooperation in regional framework through different projects and organization of events.
