Important information on the event
Considering the current state of the pandemic and the travel restrictions, the DARIAH Annual Event 2020 has been turned into an online conference.
The programme of the event spreads from October to December to accommodate all sessions. Workshops, synergy sessions and Working Group meetings are organised in weekly sessions from October 7-December 2, on Wednesdays. The papers, plenary sessions, keynote presentation and social events will be held on the central week of the event, on November 10-13, 2020. Posters will be presented in an online exhibition during that central week of the event, November 9 to 13. Check the programme for more details.
Social Events
There are two social events planned during the central week of the DARIAH Annual Event, on November 12 and 13, hosted by Croatia and Greece respectively.
The Social Event by Croatia will be held on November 12, 17:00-18:00 CET with the aim of Bringing Zagreb to You! The Croatian team decided to bring the city to you by preparing the best possible 60-minute invitation, so that you visit some other time when Corona will only be a popular beer to toast with.
The Social Event by Greece will be held on November 13, 17:00-18:00 CET and will be a Dance-along! For the Greek-themed Social Event, we would like to invite all participants to dance along with us in preparation and anticipation of the next DARIAH-EU event in Athens.
Best Poster and Best Paper Awards
We are happy to announce awards for the best poster and best paper of the 2020 Annual Event. Thanks to DARIAH-HR, the winners will be invited to present their poster/paper during the 2021 DARIAH Days in Zagreb, Croatia, hosted by DARIAH-HR. DARIAH-HR will cover travel and accommodation expenses (up to 500 eur/person).
At the Virtual Annual Event 2020, the posters will be presented in an online exhibition, which will be open during the central week of the event, between November 9 and November 13. Visitors to this exhibition will be able to vote for the best poster during that week. The best paper will be selected by the Programme Committee of the event following all paper sessions. Both awards will be announced on November 13, at 17:00-18:00 CET at the final Social Event and Closing Remarks session.

DARIAH Annual Event
DARIAH is a European Research Infrastructure for the Humanities and Arts. Its mission is to empower scholarly communities with digital methods to create, connect and share knowledge about culture and society. The DARIAH Annual Event offers the DARIAH community and humanities scholars in general the possibility to present results and new ideas; to meet and network. Participation in the Annual Event is free of charge, but registration is required.
Scholarly Primitives
It has been twenty years since John Unsworth famously formulated scholarly primitives -- discovering, annotating, comparing, referring, sampling, illustrating and representing -- as a set of basic scholarly activities across disciplines, theoretical frameworks or eras. We will use the DARIAH Annual Event 2020 as an opportunity to re-evaluate and probe the notion and scope of scholarly primitives in the context of the ongoing developments in the field of Digital Humanities and DARIAH’s continuous efforts in shaping an effective and sustainable research infrastructure that meets the needs of humanities scholars. Some of the questions that we hope to ask are: can we -- and should we -- put our conceptualization of scholarly primitives into a historical perspective as an expression of a particular stage in the development of Digital Humanities? Have scholarly primitives been conceptually robust enough to keep up with the field, which now includes big data, visual analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence? Finally, are scholarly primitives -- and the way we speak of research as we build tools to support it -- free of ideology and bias?
DARIAH is happy to announce John Unsworth as keynote speaker at the Annual Event 2020.
