Bursary Announcement – UK-IE Digital Humanities Association [Deadline 13 April]

UK-IE Digital Humanities Association’s 2026 Annual Event Bursary announcement

We are pleased to announce that our Annual Event Bursary Applications are now open!  The deadline for these applications is 13 April 2026. We plan to award between 8 to 10 bursaries of up to £350 to support in-person attendance at the Annual Event. Bursaries are accompanied by a registration fee waiver.

Bursaries are intended to support those who do not have support from their institution or employer, a grant or other funding source. This includes those who do not have access to funding from their organisation to support attendance at the Annual Event. The bursary can be used to cover costs related to travel, accommodation, subsistence, childcare and caring responsibilities, other accessibility costs, or anything else that would facilitate the recipient’s attendance at the event. 

Applicants do not have to deliver a paper to be eligible for a bursary. 

Our aim is to encourage participation from colleagues that face additional barriers attending such events, so bursaries are open to the following groups:

  • Postgraduate students enrolled in a degree course (masters or doctoral). Preference will be given to students enrolled in Irish or UK institutions.
  • Early Career: our understanding of early career aims to be as inclusive as possible to reflect careers in different sectors. Examples of early career include: 
  • Those who are within eight years of finishing their professional training or degree program.  
  • Those who are within six years of their professional appointment (the first full or part time paid employment contract). 
  • These periods exclude any career break, for example (but not limited) due to: family care; health reasons; reasons related to COVID-19 such as home schooling or increased teaching load.
  • Those who have recently changed career paths into a role aligned with the digital humanities / digital scholarship.
  • Preference will be given to those who are not employed on permanent contracts.
  • Precariously employed: those people who are working without a permanent contract or who are not currently affiliated with an organisation or institution (e.g. independent scholars). This includes those on fixed-term contracts.

DARIAH Digital Arts and Humanities Training and Summer School Small Grants 2026 [Call closes April 16]

DARIAH Digital Arts and Humanities Training and Summer School Small Grants 2026

DARIAH invites applications for small grants supporting in-person summer schools and intensive training events in the Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) that will take place in 2026. This programme aims to strengthen training opportunities, expand digital skills in the arts and humanities, and support collaboration across research, education, and cultural heritage communities.

Objectives

  • Promote methodological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration;
  • Support digital skills development for researchers, early stage researchers, and cultural heritage professionals;
  • Encourage inclusive and geographically diverse participation;
  • Foster knowledge sharing within the DAH community.

Information on Funding

The total allocated to this call is €10,000. Typical grant range: €2,000 – €5,000 per event. Funding may support instructor travel, participant bursaries, teaching materials, technical infrastructure, and organisational expenses related to the event. However, proposals that privilege participant bursaries (travel, accommodation, and daily expenses) will be considered more highly. 

Matched funding involving other funding sources is possible.

Eligible Activities

  • Summer schools or training schools
  • Intensive workshops
  • Hackathons with a strong training component 
  • Method-focused training events

Events should normally last between 3–10 days and include hands-on digital arts and humanities training.

Eligibility

Applications may be submitted by universities, research institutions, cultural heritage institutions (libraries, archives, museums), or a consortium of partner organisations. The lead institution must be part of a DARIAH national consortium in a DARIAH member state, with the event taking place at the lead institution. For a list of eligible institutions please see the members and partners page on the DARIAH website. Alternatively, non-consortium  institutions in DARIAH member states can be lead institutions, but with the written consent of the DARIAH National Representative of their country. Inquiries about the scheme can be made to funding@dariah.eu.

Selection Criteria

Applications will be assessed based on training quality, relevance to the DARIAH impact, inclusivity and accessibility, and organisational feasibility.

Acknowledgement

DARIAH’s support should be acknowledged in event communications and on any other materials.

Reporting

Grant recipients must submit a short report after the event no later than four weeks after the end of the event, summarizing participation, outcomes, and links to training materials where available. Successful applicants will receive 60% of the funding upon signature of a grant agreement between DARIAH and the lead institution, and 40% upon submission of the report. Reports that are submitted after four weeks of the event may not receive the remainder of the funding.

Deadline

Applications must be submitted by 16 April  2026 at 17:00 CEST*.

* Should the total funding pool remain unexhausted after the initial selection round, the call will move to a rolling application process:
From April 16, 2026 17:00 CEST onwards, applications will be reviewed and granted strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications must still meet all eligibility and quality requirements to be successful.This extension will remain active only until the remaining funds are fully allocated.

DisCouRSE Network’s Flexible Funding scheme open for applications. [Info webinar Monday 6th Oct]

DisCouRSE Network’s Flexible Funding scheme is open for applications. [Info webinar: 6th Oct]

DisCouRSE is a new UKRI-funded Network+ project that will encourage and support the development of leaders across all digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) roles, resulting in an empowered and connected community equipped to shape the future of digital research.

The funding is mainly UK-based but note international collaboration is possible.

Submission Deadline: November 14th, 2025

Further information can be found here: https://discourse-network.github.io/funding/round-1

The DisCouRSE Network+ project aims to encourage and support the development of leaders of all kinds across all digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) roles, primarily within the UK, resulting in an empowered and connected community equipped to shape the future of digital research. We have a twin focus on leadership training and dRTP career pathways – preparing the next generation of leaders and ensuring roles exist for them to lead within.

Our flexible fund supports community-led projects aligned with this goal, enabling aspiring leaders to trial approaches to enhancing skills and career opportunities within their local contexts, build new connections through joint initiatives, and strategically assess options for future investment and activity.

Funding calls will be released approximately every 6 months between autumn 2025 and autumn 2027. Later calls may be more targeted based on lessons learned from earlier projects and core DisCouRSE activities. They will also allow for longer or larger proposals than this initial ‘pathfinder’ call.
