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.

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. We will be communicating the virtual exhibition site on November 9. Stay tuned to vote your favourite poster! In the meantime, have a look at the programme and don't forget to register to upcoming sessions: https://dariah-ae-2020.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/5

We are pleased to announce that the registration to the DARIAH Virtual Annual Event is now open. We kindly ask you to register for each session that you wish to attend. All meetings will take place via Zoom and the Zoom link will be distributed to registered participants a day or two prior to each session.

DARIAH-EU, in consultation with the Programme Committee of the DARIAH Annual Event 2020 and the local organisers, are closely following the unfolding international situation regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus). As the situation develops in the world, we wanted to keep you informed of the actions being undertaken in the context of our upcoming Annual Event 2020. We are closely monitoring all developments regarding the spread of the virus and the proposed cautionary measures undertaken by European authorities. There is no current public health guidance to cancel large conferences in Croatia taking place from May onwards because of COVID-19. As of today, we intend to proceed with the conference as planned. However, having as priority the health and well-being of conference attendees and organisers, we are also exploring alternative options as the situation unfolds. In case you have already made travel arrangements, please make sure you buy travel insurance now to secure a good plan for trip cancellation or interruption, if needed. If you still haven't booked your travels, we advise you to refrain from doing so for the moment. You should expect to receive an update on the status of the 2020 DARIAH Annual Event the week of April 20th, following the next meeting of the Programme Committee, scheduled for mid April, unless we receive other advice in the meantime. The registration will remain open until the middle of May. We look forward to seeing you all, strong and healthy, in person in Zagreb at the end of May, if the situation permits. In the meantime, as a digital research infrastructure, we invite you to join us in building a nurturing and creative DH corner in this pandemic crisis: let us know how we can support your work by sharing thoughts, experiences and knowledge with the wider DARIAH community via our available digital platforms. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at dariah-ae-2020@sciencesconf.org

Registration to the DARIAH Annual Event 2020 is now open! Join us in Zagreb on May 26-29 to discuss and revisit Scholarly Primitives.
