2024 marks the 10th anniversary of the Digital Research Infrastructure for Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) becoming a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). To mark this occasion, a video has been made looking back at important milestones and achievements of this first decade and looking forward to DARIAH’s second decade.
DARIAH started its journey to become an ERIC in January 2006 when representatives from four European institutions involved in digital humanities decided to join forces to provide services to their research communities. In 2006, DARIAH was listed on the first publication of the ESFRI Roadmap (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure). DARIAH then became a European project, thanks to European Commission’s funding (Preparing DARIAH 2008-2011). Following this, DARIAH moved in February 2011 into a transition phase which would further build on the groundwork for its establishment as an infrastructure.
In August 2014, the European Commission established DARIAH as an ERIC with 15 Founding Members (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Slovenia and Serbia). Since then, DARIAH-EU continued to grow and prosper, counting currently 22 Member Countries and many Cooperating Partners in Europe, the UK, the US and Egypt.
