26 October 2026 – 11 January 2027
* Applications must be submitted by 11 January 2027 17:00 CET.
Αfter a successful funding call in 2026 in which five events in Belgium, Austria, Croatia, Portugal and Iceland received funding, DARIAH is delighted to announce the call for its 2027 edition of the grant.
DARIAH invites applications for small grants supporting in-person summer schools and intensive training events in the Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) that will take place anytime in 2027.
This programme aims to strengthen training opportunities, expand digital skills in the arts and humanities, and support collaboration across research, education, and cultural heritage communities.
Promote methodological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration;
Support digital skills development for researchers, early stage researchers, and cultural heritage professionals;
Encourage inclusive and geographically diverse participation;
Foster knowledge sharing within the DAH community.
The total allocated to this call is €10,000. Typical grant range: €2,000 – €5,000 per event as we aim to support several events. Funding may support instructor travel, participant bursaries, teaching materials, technical infrastructure, and organisational expenses. However, proposals that privilege participant bursaries (travel, accommodation, and daily expenses) will be considered more highly.
Matched funding involving other funding sources is welcome.
Institutions and events that have previously received funding from this scheme may not reapply for three years (eg -- institutions and events that received funding in 2026 may apply again in 2029).
Summer schools or training schools
Intensive workshops
Hackathons with a strong training component
Method-focused training events
Events should normally last between 3–10 days and include hands-on digital arts and humanities training.
Applications may be submitted by universities, research institutions, cultural heritage institutions (libraries, archives, museums), or a consortium of partner organisations. The lead institution must be part of a DARIAH national consortium in a DARIAH member state, with the event taking place at the lead institution. For a list of eligible institutions please see the DARIAH website. Alternatively, non-consortium institutions in DARIAH member states can be lead institutions, but with the written consent of the DARIAH National Representative of their country. Inquiries about the scheme can be made to funding@dariah.eu

Reports that are submitted after four weeks of the event may not receive the funding. As part of the post event report, recipients should also prepare a short news item about the summer school, along with photos, to be shared in the DARIAH newsletter.
