"We're thrilled to have this opportunity to revitalise DARIAH-IE as a nexus for digital-enabled research in the arts and humanities in Ireland," said Professor Edmond, National Coordinator. "With the guidance of our diverse advisory committee, our mission is to create a collaborative space where technology and humanities scholarship intersect to preserve, explore and reimagine Ireland's rich cultural heritage and exceptional research base in the humanities and arts."

The committee will support Professor Edmond in rebuilding DARIAH-IE's infrastructure while developing new initiatives to address contemporary challenges in the digital arts and humanities.

Research Ireland's renewed funding commitment underscores the importance of sustaining digital-enabled research in the arts and humanities in Ireland.

"Digital methods have transformed humanities research, and Ireland must maintain its position at the forefront of this evolution."

The committee will hold its first in-person meeting in September 2025.
