About the Conference:
The international DARIAH-HR conference represents a significant event for the digital humanities and heritage researchers community, providing an opportunity for reflection, discussion, and collaboration on current trends, challenges, and opportunities within these fields.
This year's conference is particularly significant as it takes place in the year marking the 10th anniversary of establishing the DARIAH-EU consortium. Over the past decade, digital humanities and the heritage sector have undergone significant changes, driven by technological advancements, societal and cultural shifts, and the evolution of research infrastructures. The question arises: How has DARIAH evolved since its inception and kept pace with these changes, and has it been an active agent in these transformations over the past decade?
We invite you to explore how digital humanities have evolved over the past 10 years under the influence of the DARIAH-EU consortium (and other research infrastructures and related initiatives). In doing so, we strongly encourage you to consider the following questions:
- How has the heritage sector and research infrastructure for humanities changed in the past decade?
- Which initiatives and projects have contributed to these changes?
- Have the member countries of DARIAH (and other SSH consortia) perceived advancements in the DH field and infrastructure since joining them?
- What are the advantages and challenges of participating in research consortia such as DARIAH?
- How can we collectively contribute to the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage?
Additionally, you are welcome to explore broader themes related to digital humanities and heritage, including the application of new technologies, ethical challenges, questions of authenticity and representation, as well as potential future research directions.
We particularly encourage you to consider and explore the following topics and their development over the past decade:
- advances in collaboration between cultural, arts, and scientific sector
- development of open access policies in the field of digital humanities and heritage
- research practices, accessibility of cultural heritage, and interdisciplinary collaboration
- ethical guidelines for publishing and sharing sensitive data
- challenges of building, improving, and implementing metadata models in the context of digital humanities and heritage sector
- evaluation of research data and scholarly papers in the context of open science; FAIR and CARE principles
- development and application of digital tools in education
- structure and evaluation of scientific projects closely related to digital humanities
- the implications of AI development in the heritage context.
We invite proposals for individual presentations and posters. Only on-site presentations will be available, but live streaming will be provided for those who wish to follow the conference remotely.
Abstracts for proposals should not exceed 500 words and must be submitted, along with a concise biographical note (maximum 200 words) and a photo, to dhh@dariah.hr by 25 June using the template available for download on this link.
