DARIAH-EU Virtual Annual Event 2020
Virtual | Papers and poster sessions: November 10-13, 2020 | Workshops, Synergy sessions and Working Group meetings: October 7 – December 2 (weekly sessions)
Considering the current state of the pandemic and the travel restrictions, the DARIAH Annual Event 2020 has been turned into an online conference.
The programme of the event spreads from October to December to accommodate all sessions. Workshops, synergy sessions and Working Group meetings are organised in weekly sessions from October 7-December 2, on Wednesdays. The papers, plenary sessions, keynote presentation and social events will be held on the central week of the event, on November 10-13, 2020. Posters will be presented in an online exhibition during that central week of the event, November 9 to 13. Check the programme for more details.
Best Poster and Best Paper Awards
We are happy to announce awards for the best poster and best paper of the 2020 Annual Event. Thanks to DARIAH-HR, the winners will be invited to present their poster/paper during the 2021 DARIAH Days in Zagreb, Croatia, hosted by DARIAH-HR. DARIAH-HR will cover travel and accommodation expenses (up to 500 eur/person).
At the Virtual Annual Event 2020, the posters will be presented in an online exhibition, which will be open during the central week of the event, between November 9 and November 13. Visitors to this exhibition will be able to vote for the best poster during that week. The best paper will be selected by the Programme Committee of the event following all paper sessions. Both awards will be announced on November 13, at 17:00-18:00 CET at the final Social Event and Closing Remarks session. We will be communicating the virtual exhibition site on November 9.
Registration to the event is open: https://dariah-ae-2020.sciencesconf.org/registration.
Topic of this year’s event is Scholarly Primitives.
It has been twenty years since John Unsworth first formulated scholarly primitives as a set of recursive and interrelated functions that form the foundations of research activities across disciplines, theoretical frameworks or eras. Ever since, these basic scholarly functions — discovering, annotating, comparing, referring, sampling, illustrating and representing — have proved to be useful not only for categorizing the fundamentals of knowledge production in the humanities, but also as a framework for conceptualizing Digital Humanities tools which support these processes.
The time is ripe to revisit and freshly interrogate both the notion and the scope of scholarly primitives. To what extent does this particular set of scholarly primitives still correspond to our understanding of what humanities scholars do on a day-to-day basis? Has our understanding of research workflows changed over time significantly enough to require a new classification?

Recap: DARIAH-EU Annual Event 2019
The DARIAH Annual Event 2019 was held on May 15-17, 2019 in Warsaw, Poland. Topic of this year’s event was Humanities Data. At the very heart of this topic linger questions around the type and amount of data that humanists collect: what kind of data do we have; where is it; and who owns it? Is our data indeed complex, and if so, what makes it complex? How do definitions and conceptualisations of the term ‘data’ resonate with or, perhaps more accurately, alienate us from our conceptions of our source landscape as art and humanities scholars? And, of course, how will the major European policy initiative to build an Open Science Cloud for research data impact upon our practices and opportunities?
The 2019 Annual Event introduced a new format. It combined forms of encounter developed in prior meetings, such as Working Groups meetings, workshops organised by Working Groups and projects, and a Marketplace to exchange ideas around new research projects and infrastructural solutions with an open conference setting. The call for participation was subdivided into two streams: (1) Meetings and (2) Papers/Posters.

Recap: DARIAH-EU Annual Event 2018
The DARIAH Annual Event 2018, held on May 22-24 in Paris, France, was a lively meeting point for researchers, Working Groups, DARIAH-related projects, and the DARIAH governing bodies to exchange experiences, present progress, explore new ideas, and discuss future challenges. This year’s theme: Open Science. Growing out of the broader Open Access movement, the topic of an even deeper Open Science has emerged in recent years, both from the research community itself, as well as from research institutions, funders, governments and supranational bodies that wish to see science done in a way that has more impact, is more accessible to both academic peers and the public and is available for inter- and multidisciplinary research.
DARIAH-EU decided to set Open Science as the theme of this year’s Annual Event with the aim of engaging the DARIAH-EU community in discussions on how we deal with issues of open science in research infrastructures, and how the humanities can adopt new methodologies for open collaboration.
