CLARIN café: Project Management and team collaboration in Digital Humanities

The topic of this café is project management and team collaboration in Digital Humanities projects. Our guests from academia, industry and research infrastructures will discuss their experience and approaches to project management and how some of the principles and methods can be incorporated into DH research and teaching to improve the collaboration and efficiency of DH project teams. Depending on the size of a DH project, teams typically include researchers, students, faculty staff, technical experts, community partners, infrastructures, and/or representatives of the GLAM or industry sectors. This café is designed for anyone looking to enhance their project management workflows and skills in the Digital Humanities field. It targets research teams managing Digital Humanities projects, program coordinators, lecturers who teach project management in academic programs, DH graduates working on projects in the creative and industry sectors, and professionals overseeing DH infrastructure projects. The café will also be of great interest to any students who, whether they know what career track they wish to embark upon or not, have a burning desire to get things done in their career.

The CLARIN hosts are Vincent Vandeghinste and Iulianna van der Lek. Guest-speakers will introduce projects and infrastructures, among others, from The Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage, King’s College London, Princeton University and the University of Helsinki.

About CLARIN Café: This CLARIN Café is co-organised by CLARIN and the DH Course Registry Working Group as a follow-up to the DH Graduates: Bridging Gaps Between Industry & Education workshop, an initiative supported by CLARIN and the DARIAH Funding Scheme for Working Group Activities 2023-2025. The initiative examines how DH programs in Europe and the USA equip graduates for careers in academia, the public sector, and industry. It also investigates how research infrastructures, such as CLARIN and DARIAH, can assist universities in fostering their students’ digital competencies through open access to language data repositories, language resources, services, tools, and learning materials.
