19 September – 21 November 2025
DARIAH ERIC is delighted to introduce its fifth call for projects open exclusively to DARIAH Working Groups (WG). The call acknowledges the strategic role of Working Groups in the DARIAH ecosystem, which represent – according to the Strategic Plan 2019-2026 – one of the four pillars of the DARIAH activities.
Funding allocated under this scheme is intended to support the activities of established DARIAH Working Groups that are currently active. It intends to offer practical support for their programmes, encouraging Working Groups to put forward innovative ideas; to seek synergies by collaborating with each other and, in general, to build capacity to suggest new services, tools or training activities or to help develop and sustain existing ones.
In light of the above goals, projects should build on and/or contribute to one or more of DARIAH strategic pillars:
Marketplace to facilitate fluid exchange of tools, services, data and knowledge
Access to Education and Training
Working Groups, Hubs and other forms of Transnational and Transdisciplinary organisation (Community Formation)
Bridges between research policy and communities of practice (Advocacy and Impact)
The overall budget available in this call is €40.000. Grants will be issued up to a maximum of €5 000 per WG, or up to €10 000 for joint proposals by two or more WGs.
