Invitation to DARIAH & Libraries online kick-off meeting

DARIAH & Libraries is a Task Force piloted from DARIAH National Coordinators Committee. They organise an online kick-off meeting to which any relevant stakeholder is invited.

Libraries are characterized by their extensive collections of data and the provision of services, which constitute a fundamental component of large digital infrastructures such as the DARIAH Digital Arts and Humanities Research Infrastructure. This particular domain offers a significant opportunity for collaboration between libraries and researchers.

Consequently, this working group has been established with the objective of facilitating dialogue and collaboration among relevant stakeholders. The invitation is extended to all interested parties connected to (or cooperating with) DARIAH national nodes to attend the first meeting of this working group.
