Network of Collaboration

HELDIG is a collaboration network in Digital Humanities research, education, and application.

Support for this is provided by advanced shared research and data infrastructures and tooling, as well as educational online materials that support researchers, students, and developers to utilize novel technological aids. The work is based on multi- and interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers in humanities, social sciences, and computer scientists.
