DARIAH Annual Event 2026 | Digital Arts and Humanities With and For Society: Building Infrastructures of Engagement

Rome, Italy. May 26-29, 2026

DARIAH Annual Events provide ideal opportunities for scholarly exchange between researchers in digital arts and humanities, cultural heritage as well as computer, information and data sciences. The 2024 conference will focus on the technical, methodological, infrastructural, and conceptual challenges of designing, implementing and sharing digitally-enabled workflows.

The DARIAH Annual Events combine different forms of encounter and exchange between DARIAH researchers and the wider cultural heritage, arts and humanities, as well as computer, information and data science communities. This year's event will explore the topic of Digital Arts and Humanities With and For Society: Building Infrastructures of Engagement. Whether through scholarly reflections, concrete case studies, theoretical contributions, or policy considerations, this year we seek to explore how digital, social and institutional infrastructures can support engaged research, and nurture generosity, participation and shared creativity in the digital arts and humanities.

The DARIAH Annual Event 2026 will be dedicated to the topic of Digital Arts and Humanities With and For Society: Building Infrastructures of Engagement.

We are looking for scholarly reflections, concrete case studies, theoretical contributions, and policy considerations that examine how digital, social and institutional infrastructures can support engaged research, and nurture generosity, participation and shared creativity in the digital arts and humanities.

The Annual Event will be held in person in Rome, Italy, on May 26-29. The event will be hosted at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre – Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Via Ostiense, 234, 00146 Roma RM. May 26th will be a day for DARIAH internal meetings, followed by the conference on May 27th to May 29th. Accepted submissions are expected to be presented in-person.

DARIAH is a European Research Infrastructure for the Humanities and Arts. Its mission is to empower scholarly communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society.

The DARIAH Annual Event offers the DARIAH community and humanities scholars in general the possibility to present results and new ideas; to meet and network.

TESTIMONIALS

The DARIAH Annual Events are always a great opportunity to link up with colleagues from different fields with similar interests, to discuss common challenges and visions, and plan future projects and cooperation. The results are often unexpected and exciting!

David Wigg-Wolf

German Archaeological Institute, co-chair DARIAH-EU Working Group Digital Numismatics

This was my first experience in the “research work field” as I am still a student, but I have seen so much passion during the presentations! It helped me think about my own research topic and it was fascinating to see the diversity of the Digital Humanities fieldwork.

Mathevet Julie Alice

The positive atmosphere created by all attendees who are passionate about Open Science and sustainable research practices is very motivating. I left the conference with a plethora of new ideas and enthusiasm.

The DARIAH-EU Annual Event in Lisbon was a great opportunity for our Working Group to invite our Iberian members, and to contact members/chairs of other Working Groups or persons presenting projects with whom we plan to interact in future.

Rahel C. Ackermann

Swiss Inventory of Coin Finds, CH-Bern; co-chair DARIAH-EU Working Group Digital Numismatics

I have not missed a DARIAH Annual Event since 2016. It is one of the “must-do” events in my schedule each year, because I wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity for exchange with like-minded colleagues – many of whom have become dear friends through many years of working together in DARIAH-EU – and the development of new ideas and collaborations. The Annual Event is a great showcase of one of the most important aspects and strengths of DARIAH-EU: It is, among and perhaps above all else, an infrastructure of –people- who are burning for Digital Humanities.
