Welcome to the first Tech & Data Day!

The combination of Tech & Data is essential in digitally informed humanities research. CLARIAH wishes to emphasize the cross-over between the two. This is why we are now organizing the first open Tech & Data Day on Thursday 29 June. Everyone is welcome to join!

Date and time

Thursday 29 June

Location

Objectives

Combining Tech and Data serves the following objectives of CLARIAH:
1. Supporting data research with the tech developed by and through CLARIAH; 2. Connecting researchers that are behind the data projects and/or collections, and the ones that work in technology and/or infrastructure-oriented projects.

With this Tech & Data Day we hope to forge new contacts resulting in fruitful collaborations. This will enable participants to explore what they can do for each other and how one side of the research spectrum can enrich the other.
