Hugo Quené appointed CLARIAH-NL Supervisory Board member

Starting in September 2024, CLARIAH-NL will lead the ongoing development and the sustainability of the Dutch national infrastructure for digital humanities research. As a first step, a Supervisory Board has been installed that represents all parties involved.

To make this possible, the CLARIAH-NL organisation has now formally been founded. The aim of this organisation is to coordinate, develop and manage a sustainable, distributed and shared digital research infrastructure for the Humanities at the national level. This will enable researchers from the humanities and other domains to support their digital research needs.

The CLARIAH-NL Supervisory Board consists of three members representing the humanities faculties, appointed by the Council of Deans in Arts and Humanities. We are proud to announce that one of these three members is Prof. dr. Hugo Quené, director of the Centre for Digital Humanities.

Among the first tasks of this Supervisory Board is setting up a Memorandum of Understanding that outlines the mission, governance, finances, and tasks of the CLARIAH-NL organisation, which will be signed by all parties involved. The Supervisory Board will also install a Management Board that will take care of the day-to-day business of the CLARIAH-NL infrastructure, in alignment with activities in current projects such as SSHOC-NL, the various PDI-SSH projects, as well as future projects.
