DARIAH-IE Welcomes INSPIRE Research Infrastructure Investment Package
DARIAH-IE, Ireland’s national node of the pan-European Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH), warmly welcomes the recent INSPIRE investment package announcement by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless. In particular we welcome the commitment to support strategic national infrastructure in the investment strategy, which was informed by the recommendations of the Research Infrastructure Working Group.
DARIAH-IE is the Irish node of the pan-European Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities, a research infrastructure that enhances and supports digitally enabled research and teaching across the Arts and Humanities.
Trinity College Dublin holds the role of the National Coordinating Institution supporting the work of the National Coordinator, Professor Jennifer Edmond. This appointment, for a period of four years (2024-2028), was made following an open call by the national funding body Research Ireland.
Joan Murphy is the National Manager, responsible for the day to day operations of DARIAH-IE, under the direction of the National Coordinator.
