Sweden joins DARIAH as full National Member
The General Assembly of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium DARIAH ERIC recently accepted Sweden’s membership application to become a full national member in the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities. This marks a significant step forward in Sweden’s commitment to advancing collaboration in the humanities at the international level.
DARIAH-EU is a European infrastructure that supports digital research and teaching across the arts and humanities. By joining DARIAH-EU, Sweden enhances its research capabilities and collaboration options with other European countries.
The national DARIAH consortium for Sweden will be hosted by the Swedish national research infrastructure Huminfra (which is led by Lund University Humanities Lab), but will be open to any other university, cultural heritage institution or entity once established, in order to promote further growth of collaborative research in the field. The membership enables researchers in Sweden to access a wealth of digital tools and data, and makes Huminfra’s resources accessible to other DARIAH member countries.
Marianne Gullberg, Director of Huminfra, is very pleased with the decision: “Huminfra is delighted to host DARIAH-SE. With Swedish national membership in both European infrastructures, DARIAH and CLARIN, Swedish and international scholars now have equal access to both language and cultural heritage resources. This is a vital step forward for scholarship in the humanities.”
Koraljka Golub, national coordinator of DARIAH-SE, also expressed excitement over the new membership. “Joining DARIAH-EU opens up tremendous opportunities for researchers in these fields. It allows us to participate more fully in the European research community and to leverage cutting-edge digital resources.”
Sweden’s membership in DARIAH-EU is expected to facilitate numerous projects and initiatives, promoting the integration of digital methods into research and teaching. The Swedish Research Council will oversee the country’s participation and integration into the DARIAH-EU framework.
