It develops DH collaboration and supports research projects, teaching activities and infrastructure projects across the faculties.

I@H lecture series on Digitizing the Humanities: World War I Digital Exhibitions
Sandra Camarda (Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, Luxembourg) and Martine Vermandere (Amsab-ISG, Ghent)
In this talk you will hear first-hand from Sandra Camarda, curator of the project Éischte Weltkrich: Remembering the Great War in Luxembourg (https://ww1.lu), on the process of developing a digital exhibition. The digital platform was developed by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), with the objective of addressing a neglected and understudied period in the history of the Grand Duchy. It brings together the collections and expertise of all the major Luxembourgish museums, archives and cultural institutions, creating a long-term digital resource.
Opening up the humanities: an infrastructural opportunity
The CLARIAH-VL Open Humanities Service Infrastructure has been funded for at least two years by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). It is being developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers, digital humanities experts and infrastructural specialists, from the universities of Ghent, Antwerpen, Leuven and Brussels, together with linguists from the Dutch Language Institution (INT). It will offer a unique combination of high-quality and user-friendly tools and resources that can be embedded into the everyday workflows of humanities researchers.
