The document discusses the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) initiative, which aims to enhance digitally-enabled research by developing a strong European data infrastructure that supports collaboration across various countries and disciplines. DARIAH's mission includes creating a shared technology platform and offering resources to facilitate research while addressing challenges posed by the distributed nature of data. The coordination involves multiple member countries and partnerships, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between academic, public, and industry sectors.

- 3. Why DARIAH? (Sciencecase) • Changing research practice in a networked world: – Digital resources (data & tools) form the laboratory of the scholar in the arts and humanities – Computational technologies and methods of analysis – Resources for humanities research are highly distributed – The scale of research goes up: networked projects • European projects have no continuity • The existing structures are too weak (ad hoc networks, no permanence) and national in scope • Answer: strong European data infrastructure, providing continuity and support for digital A&H research and access to digital resources

Editor's Notes
- #5 Setting the context for DARIAH:DARIAH is a truly Europeanendeavor, initiated in 2006, fundedby the EU in itsPreparatoryPhase(2008-2010).We are now in the TransitionPhase as we move towardsestablishing the DARIAH-ERIC, beforemovingonto the Construction Phaseof course, we hope the OperationalPhase.
- #7 We are in the final stages of preparing for our ‘Step 1’ DARIAH-ERIC Application. The core documentation has been prepared, including in particular:Technical and Scientific Description describing the Mission and Objectives of DARIAH.DARIAH-ERIC Draft Statutes which has been developed in full-consultation with our founding members and with excellent feedback from Mr. Tuinder of the European Commission.The statutes contains all the necessary information, including the establishment, participation, governance, budgetary principles and provisions for policy development in areas such as access, scientific evaluation and data.
- #8 So, which countries are participating in DARIAH?The founding members of the DARIAH-ERIC will be the following 10 countries that you see here, including Croatia and Serbia as Associated Countries.All of these countries have signed the DARIAH-ERIC Memorandum of Understanding stating their willingness to establish the DARIAH ERIC.The legal seat of the DARIAH-ERIC will be in Paris, France. The coordination of DARIAH is lead jointly by France, Germany and The Netherlands.
- #11 Here briefly is alittle of the detail about the specific expertise of the individual VCCs:VCC1 – eInfrastructure– lead by Germany and Austria will establish a shared technology platform for arts and humanities researchVCC2 – Research and Education – lead by Ireland and Denmark – is where the researchers are. They will expose and share their digital enabled research methods, expertise and tools.VCC3 – Scholarly Content Management – lead by France and The Netherlands is where the interoperability happens to expose and share scholarly content.VCC4 – Advocacy, impact and outreach – lead by Germany in liaison with the DCO is the key interface with influencers in and for the Arts and Humanities.
- #12 Here is an overview of the DARIAH governance structure which is described in detail within the DARIAH-ERIC Statutes. I would like to draw your attention to:General Assembly – This is supreme organ of the DARIAH ERIC, will full decision making powers. This is where the Ministeries are represented.Board of Directors – The executive and legal representatives of the DARIAH-ERICCoordination Board – The operational organ of the DARIAH-ERIC.
- #13 For the day-to-day operations of the DARIAH-ERIC, we have the DARIAH-EU Coordination Office or DCO.This is a virtual organisation, jointly located in France, Germany and The Netherlands and is responsible to the coordination of all activities of the DARIAH-ERIC.
- #14 As with any organisation, DARIAH has also laid down its budgetary principles.With an estimated annual budget of approximately 4 million euro, Members and observers contribute to the budget. These contributions are based on the latest GDP figures from the World Bank.Contributions exist of two parts:Cash contributions (10%)In-kind contributions (90%) which are monitored through the VCC framework.
- #15 Of course, DARIAH does not work in the digital arts and humanities landscape alone, both in Europe or internationally. We are therefore working towards a collaboration strategy, initially mapping the landscape and then considering each initiatives according to it’s proximity to DARIAH based on thematic interest, institutional anchoring and intended user community.For example, Affiliated projects are the most closely related to DARIAH and a strong collaborative framework already exists, for example the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) which supports the European Holocaust research communityby opening up a portal thatwillgive online access to dispersedsourcesrelating to the Holocaust all over Europe and Israel.
