This year, Data School, the Data Management & Privacy team, ILS Labs, and several members of ArtLab are moving to Drift 10 in Utrecht, joining the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH), of which they are part.

The process of bringing more CDH teams together at Drift 10 is steadily taking shape. In recent weeks, Data School and the Data Management & Privacy team have begun settling into their new offices. Data School is moving from its current location at Drift 13 to room 2.01 at Drift 10, while the Data Management & Privacy team will be based in room 3.10. Several members of ArtLab will also have workspaces at Drift 10.

They join the Research Software Lab, Humanities IT, and most of the CDH core team, who are already located at Drift 10.

The ILS Labs are also in the process of relocating to Drift 10. Once their move from Janskerkhof 13 is completed, the basement, ground floor, and first floor of Drift 10 will house two biolabs, two eye-tracking labs, three phonetics/general-purpose labs, an interaction lab, and a head-turn-preference lab.

The CDH is delighted that this development will bring more of its units together under one roof. While collaboration between the teams is already well established, sharing the same location will create even more opportunities for informal exchange and knowledge sharing.

With these moves, a long-held dream of the CDH is becoming a reality: bringing together most of its teams in a single location.
