DARIAH ERIC: A research infrastructure that enhances and supports digitally enabled research and teaching across the Arts and Humanities.
The Signature Project 2026 is the first call under DARIAH with a goal of developing an innovative and sustainable core service that strengthens and expands their infrastructure.
Projects may develop new services from scratch, or extend and/or consolidate existing community services, provided the outputs become part of DARIAH’s core offering. Signature Project funding cannot, however, be used merely for rebranding an existing service without delivering new capabilities.
To ensure long-term sustainability, applicants must define their proposed technology stack, which must align with DARIAH’s recommended technologies (see Technical Requirements below). The DARIAH CTO team will advise and support the project during development, with a focus on interoperability and production-grade deployment.
Funding: DARIAH will support the project up to EUR 125,000 (lump sum). Applicants are required to secure additional co-financing ranging from EUR 25,000 to EUR 75,000 bringing the total budget for the budget between EUR 150,000 and EUR 200,000.
Duration: 24 Months
