Research

HELDIG aims at making longstanding strategic profiling changes in Digital Humanities research at the University of Helsinki, and at supporting and coordinating already existing research in related fields.

We establish joint projects and collaborations within the HELDIG Network in Finland and internationally in EU, US, and beyond.

HELDIG Research can be divided into three parts: 1) work at "HELDIG Core", 2) work under HELDIG professorships, and 3) work at the Department of Digital Humanities, Faculty or Arts, hosting HELDIG.
