What You Will Learn

This presentation introduces the major European research infrastructures for the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on their practical relevance for doctoral researchers.

Part 1 · Huma-Num — The French National Infrastructure

  • What is Huma-Num and why does it matter?
  • The data lifecycle for humanities research
  • FAIR data principles in practice
  • Key services: NAKALA, Isidore, Stylo, Huma-Num Box
  • Thematic consortiums: finding your community

Part 2 · DARIAH-EU — The European Network

  • DARIAH as a pan-European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC)
  • Four strategic pillars: Research · Education · Advocacy · Infrastructure
  • Tools and platforms: DARIAH Campus, SSH Open Marketplace
  • Working groups and how to get involved
  • France as the host country — the Huma-Num / DARIAH-FR connection

Part 3 · EOSC & the European Landscape

  • The European Open Science Cloud: ambition and reality
  • How Huma-Num, DARIAH, CLARIN, and CESSDA fit into EOSC
  • The SSH Open Marketplace as a shared discovery layer — co-built by DARIAH, CLARIN, and CESSDA
  • What this means for your data and your research

Context: UPPA & UNITA

ED 481 SSH

Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Humanities
Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour

Research areas: humanities, social sciences, history, law, languages and cultures.

CHORAL Programme · UNITA

UNITA European University Alliance — 12 universities from 7 countries: France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine — with a shared focus on culture, territory, and human sciences.

Tip

All UNITA partner countries are connected to DARIAH-EU — as full members (France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Romania) or cooperating partners (Switzerland, Ukraine) — meaning your institution has a pathway to DARIAH resources and working groups.
