The DARIAH-EU Annual Event features a series of engaging keynote lectures and interactive sessions, which bring together researchers, technologists, data scientists and cultural heritage professionals. This year’s event will focus on the subject of sustainability of research infrastructures.

Overview

The DARIAH-EU Annual Event is open beyond the DARIAH community. It features a series of engaging keynote lectures and interactive sessions, which bring together researchers, technologists, data scientists and cultural heritage professionals. Additionally the DARIAH Annual Event enables colleagues to work together face-to-face on their DARIAH activities, e.g. in Working Group meetings.

This year’s event will focus on the subject of sustainability of Research Infrastructures. The event consists of two parts:

1. DARIAH-EU Plenary sessions and
2. parallel sessions with workshops on topics of sustainability of research infrastructures.

The second part is kicked-off by the marketplace where working groups and affiliated DARIAH projects will showcase their research activities.

Additionally, there will be opportunities for colleagues to work together on their DARIAH activities face-to-face, such as Working Group meetings.

We are particularly pleased to announce the keynote speakers that will open and close the event, and that will focus on the event’s theme of sustainability: Roxanne Wyns and Prof. Dr. Isabella Peters.
