ArtLab joins the Centre for Digital Humanities
As of January 2026, Utrecht University’s ArtLab will formally become part of the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH). ArtLab is an academic heritage laboratory that combines advanced imaging and 3D technologies with expertise in material art history.
Its integration into the CDH will support Artlab’s continued growth and enable a broadening towards new digital humanities themes and applications. Bringing together humanities researchers who work with innovative digital methods, creates opportunities for cross-fertilisation and intellectual exchange.
About the ArtLab
At ArtLab, researchers and students work on location using mobile equipment. They develop accessible research applications, provide training for professionals, and collaborate closely with national and international external partners. ArtLab aspires to be the first laboratory in the Netherlands – and beyond – where material objects and digital methodologies are brought together for the study of art and culture.
