CLARIAH-NL Community Connect 2025

The CLARIAH-NL Community Connect 2025 event brings together researchers, educators, and infrastructure developers to discuss how CLARIAH can best serve the needs of the humanities research community.

Parallel Session Themes

Each parallel session will be offered twice (in two rounds) and is designed to be interactive, focusing on brief presentations (max. 10 mins each) followed by audience dialogue. Sessions aim to gather actionable insights for the future CLARIAH-NL roadmap.

Learn and Teach

How can CLARIAH-NL better support researchers in learning to use and teaching with digital tools and data?

This session explores:

  • Training and onboarding for new users
  • Integration of infrastructure into academic curricula

AI and Humanities Research

What is the role of AI, especially generative AI, in shaping the future of humanities research?

This session covers:

  • Opportunities for large-scale data analysis using AI
  • Challenges related to ethics, IPR, and transparency
  • The role of infrastructure in supporting responsible AI use

Data Flows and Data Stories

How do humanities researchers engage with data, and how can infrastructure adapt?

This session investigates:

  • Working with cultural heritage data
  • Legal and privacy challenges (IPR, GDPR)
  • Innovative forms of publishing with integrated data (e.g., data stories, games)

Our aims for the Community Connect

  • The Community Connect event is a moment to:
  • Reflect on how CLARIAH-NL infrastructure is being used
  • Identify user needs and bottlenecks
  • Gather community input to shape CLARIAH-NL's roadmap

This event also marks CLARIAH-NL's transition toward becoming a permanent national digital infrastructure.
