National consortium DARIAH-DE (external website)
Coordinated by Göttingen State and University Library
Represented by German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the partners involved in DARIAH-DE have established a digital and distributed research infrastructure with diverse services for the humanities and cultural studies in three funding phases from March 2011 to February 2019. 16 national partners as well as other Memorandum-of-Understanding partners have transferred the basic services underlying the infrastructure into sustainable continuous operation within the framework of the DARIAH-DE operational cooperation (March 2019 to February 2021). The operational cooperation was an integral part of the BMBF-funded collaborative project CLARIAH-DE (March 2019 to September 2021), which combined the different services of the two initiatives CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE into a shared digital infrastructure. DARIAH-DE will be continued in the association "Geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsinfrastrukturen e.V." as a transformation of TextGrid e.V.. Various parts of the DARIAH-DE offerings are also anchored in the NFDI initiatives Text+, NFDI4Culture, NFDI4Memory and NFDI4Objects.
Trust in digital research infrastructures is the basic prerequisite for its use and also forms the basis for the cultural shift towards FAIR principles and Open Access. Such trust is significantly strengthened by the sustainability factor.
CLARIAH-DE, as a merger of the two established research infrastructures CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE, created a sustainable structure for the humanities and cultural studies communities. To this end, a sustainability strategy was formulated that promotes and increases the further development and networking of research infrastructures in the humanities and cultural sciences in Germany and Europe. In order to achieve this goal, CLARIAH-DE, together with its partners and other interested parties, initiated an association transformation based on the already existing association TextGrid e.V. The legal form of an association offers the advantage of enabling the greatest possible participation of those using and offering the services as well as interdisciplinary and international participation.
Information on the structure of the association as well as on membership is provided on the website of the association: Geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsinfrastrukturen e.V.
