Dublin, Ireland – May 27, 2025
DARIAH-IE, the Ireland node of the pan-European Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities, proudly announces the appointment of a new national committee to guide the work of the National Coordinator. This strategic relaunch, made possible through continuing support from Research Ireland, aims to reestablish DARIAH-IE as an essential resource for Ireland’s digital arts and humanities community.
The newly formed advisory committee brings together distinguished scholars, technologists, and arts practitioners from across Ireland’s academic and cultural institutions to support National Coordinator Professor Jennifer Edmond (TCD):

“We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to revitalise DARIAH-IE as a nexus for digital-enabled research in the arts and humanities in Ireland,” said Professor Edmond, National Coordinator. “With the guidance of our diverse advisory committee, our mission is to create a collaborative space where technology and humanities scholarship intersect to preserve, explore and reimagine Ireland’s rich cultural heritage and exceptional research base in the humanities and arts.”
The committee will support Professor Edmond in rebuilding DARIAH-IE’s infrastructure while developing new initiatives to address contemporary challenges in the digital arts and humanities.
Research Ireland’s renewed funding commitment underscores the importance of sustaining digital-enabled research in the arts and humanities in Ireland.
“We envision DARIAH-IE serving the entire digital arts and humanities community, from established researchers to emerging scholars and the broader public,” added Dr Marina Milić, Research Ireland. “Digital methods have transformed humanities research, and Ireland must maintain its position at the forefront of this evolution.”
The committee will hold its first in-person meeting in September 2025.
