On 27 May, DARIAH-IE will be hosting an online seminar targeted at those working within, and adjacent to, the Irish Digital Arts and Humanities communities. The aim of the seminar is to provide an introduction to DARIAH, the pan-European Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities, and an overview of DARIAH-IE and its hopes and aspirations for the next few years; it will also offer attendees the opportunity to contribute to the development of the newly invigorated Ireland node.

The seminar will begin with a welcome from Research Ireland, after which Prof Jennifer Edmond, National Coordinator, will introduce DARIAH-IE. This will be followed by brief presentations from Irish-based researchers active within DARIAH. Attendees will also hear from DARIAH's Swedish, Austrian and French nodes about their structures and operations, and the affordances that DARIAH membership provides at a national level.

There will be opportunities for all attendees to contribute in the second half of the seminar which will be dedicated to smaller discussions around topics such as: Available Tools & Services; Building Collaborations; and Needs of the Irish Digital Arts and Humanities Community.

DARIAH-IE is funded by Research Ireland.

The Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) aims to enhance and support digitally-enabled research and teaching across the arts and humanities. DARIAH is a network of people, expertise, information, knowledge, content, methods, tools and technologies from its member countries. It develops, maintains and operates an infrastructure in support of ICT-based research practices and sustains researchers in using them to build, analyse and interpret digital resources. By working with communities of practice, DARIAH brings together individual state-of-the-art digital arts and humanities activities and scales their results to a European level. It preserves, provides access to and disseminates research that stems from these collaborations and ensures that best practices, methodological and technical standards are followed.

DARIAH was established as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in August 2014. Currently, DARIAH has 22 Members and several Cooperating Partners in ten non-member countries.
