Mission & Goals
DARIAH’s mission is to empower research communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society. We work towards developing an infrastructure that supports researchers working in the diverse community of practice known as the arts and humanities to build, analyse and interpret digital or hybrid resources. As such, DARIAH supports and enhances the sustainable development of digitally-enabled research and teaching through its network of people, knowledge, content, methods and tools. Our main areas of activities aim towards ensuring that humanities researchers are: 1) able to assess the impact of technology on their work in an informed manner; 2) access the data, tools, services, knowledge and networks they need seamlessly and in contextually rich virtual and human environments; 3) produce excellent, digitally-enabled scholarship that is reusable, visible and sustainable.
