DARIAH – European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC)

DARIAH is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) whose mission is to empower research communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society. In addition to having 20 member states and one observer country, DARIAH has also established a network of cooperating partners in non-member countries.

It includes the Department of Scientific Collections that conducts research on digital archiving and digital curation with a focus on ethnographic collections originating in Slovakia and Central Europe (e.g. fairy tales, paremias, slovak ethnographic atlas, photographs, drawings and folk songs). The consortium emphasizes the categories of Humanities, with focus of digital crowdsourcing.

The Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology at the Slovak Academy of Sciences joins DARIAH as Cooperating Partner
