The egi-engage project, co-funded by Horizon 2020, aims to establish a competence center to support digital arts, humanities, and social sciences researchers. It seeks to strengthen collaboration between DARIAH-EU and EGI, enhance the deployment of A&H services in the EGI cloud, and raise awareness of e-infrastructure benefits. The project includes initiatives like a user-friendly scientific gateway and a digital repository tailored to the needs of the arts and humanities community.

About:
The aim of the effort of this project is to establish a
science-oriented Competence Centre (CC) that will
provide support to the research communities in the
research area of digital arts, humanities and social
sciences. EGI DARIAH CC will bring the network of the
service providers, technology providers and application
developer experts from EGI, to the experts in digital Arts
and Humanities (A&H), bridging the gap between these
groups.
